Here at News UK we continue to bring you the latest trends and insights on what our readers are looking at and the wider market trends that we hope are of use to you. Editor’s letter Lisa Minot, Sun Travel Editor SEPTEMBER is almost upon us and as the kids return to school, the grown-ups can now come out to play. For those not restricted to school holidays, there's never been a better time to head off for a shot of late-summer sunshine. Italy has dropped its five-day quarantine rule for UK tourists and offers some great options for travellers. There is still high demand for Green List destinations. Malta is enjoying fully-booked hotels and high demand. Unfortunately, the US remains out of reach and looks likely to continue to be inaccessible for some months to come. But there are definitely some great options out there for those determined to grab some autumn sunshine.

Lorry drivers are vital to keep our nation functioning but the growing recruitment shortage has seen supermarket shelves left bare, pubs run dry, McDonald’s unable to serve milkshakes, Nando’s forced to close and even the supply of school dinners under threat. Experts estimate the nation faces a huge shortfall of 100,000 drivers caused by a “perfect storm” of veteran drivers leaving the profession, lack of new drivers training during the pandemic, some workers returning to EU countries and a backlog in driver tests. The Sun is offering free job listings to firms with driver roles on our Sun Jobs site and and will also be leading the charge to diversify the industry.
