    Brexit letter warns of 7,000-truck queues in Kent
    Exporters to the EU face 7,000-truck-long queues in Kent and two-day delays to trade after the Brexit transition period ends, the government has warned.

    Imports will also be disrupted in January, according to a letter from cabinet minister Michael Gove to the freight industry, seen by BBC News.

    It also raises the prospect of a winter spike in Covid-19 leading to absences of port and border staff.

    The transition period is due to expire at the end of the year.
