Chicken supply chain shortages, that have caused problems for both KFC and Nando's in the last week, is the result of Brexit, says the boss of the British Poultry Council.

Labour said the revelations "blow apart" the "myth" that UK-EU trade disruption is a temporary problem.

The comments came after Nando's announced that 45 of its restaurants would temporarily shut due to supply chain disruptions and KFC said some of its products would not be available.

Many European drivers have left the country, Tesco chief explains.

A shortage of chicken, which forced restaurants like Nando's and KFC to close or change their menu, is being blamed on Brexit.

McDonald's, KFC and Pret a Manger have joined with UK supermarkets to warn that crashing out of the European Union will result in "significant" disruptions to their supply chains.

Items to disappear from supermarket shelves and prices to increase if UK crashes out of EU, group including Lidl, the Co-op, Pret a Manger and KFC say.

To put that in context, Leeds alone has more KFC outlets than that.
