On track at the moment to have about 4.5 Billion shares cancelled as a result of the ongoing investment.

Country with largest investment allocation currently is Australia (nearly 22%)

''a lack of truck drivers, which are being further exasperated here in the UK by Brexit''

I do not believe that the USA left the EU and therefore the reason for them being short of drivers, or indeed Germany- did they leave.

''the Govt created inflation ''

current inflationary pressures in many parts of the world has also not been caused by the UK government.

''but it's a Brexiter pipedream that all checks can be avoided.''

2016 - GET OVER IT
Anyone suggesting that movement of goods staying within the UK is something that the EU should impose checks on is completely missing the obvious point.

''Boris Johnson is saying that the EU is enforcing the protocol in such a way that it's not working for both sides. ''

Did the EU not know what they were signing.
