UK PM rules out priority access for key workers in fuel crisis – Roya News English

Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Tuesday ruled out priority access at the pumps for key workers, insisting a fuel supply crisis to British petrol stations was improving, even as forecourts remained gridlocked with motorists desperate to fill up.

In his first broadcast comments on the crisis that has seen the army put on standby to deliver supplies, Johnson said there was no need to allow essential workers to jump the queue.

"With the situation now stabilizing and things getting better on the forecourts, the best thing is we stabilize it in the normal way," he told reporters.
