Foreign lorry drivers will be allowed back into Britain in an “extraordinary Brexit U-turn”, The Guardian says, reporting on the shortage of drivers that has seen some petrol stations forced to close.

The Guardian leads with increasing pressure on the government as a shortage of lorry drivers leads to problems delivering fuel.

Ministers have admitted they are considering a windfall tax on companies profiting from record gas prices, The Guardian claims.

The Guardian leads on the same story quoting a senior government source as saying: “There are a variety of different ways to do this. The question is whether the US administration is ready. The ball is in the US’s court. It takes two to tango.”
