Rachel Reeves MP, Labour’s Shadow Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, responding to reports of continued delays and disruptions at UK ports, said:

“Day after day, chaos at our ports continues, while this incompetent government blusters and denies.

“Their lack of planning matched with growing bureaucracy at our borders is harming British industries and holding back our economic recovery.

“They must urgently get a grip, and work together with British businesses to solve this, instead of leaving them out in the cold.”
