Glasgow, Scotland, UK. 10 December 2020.
Pictured: TESCO Chairman has admitted it has stockpiled long-life goods in preparation for possible supply disruption at the end of the Brexit transition period. Speaking hours before PM Boris Johnson was due in Brussels for last ditch trade deal talks, John Allan was unable to rule out the chance of temporary shortages in some fresh foods from 1 January but added they should only be for "a limited period". He said the UK's largest supermarket chain had moved to spread imports across UK ports to avoid a reliance on a few points of entry, including Dover, amid warnings of long freight delays.
