Podcast: Insulate Britain protests at Dover and panic buying at petrol stations causes disruption

Two stories are dominating the news in Kent today - protesters blockading the Port of Dover and drivers panic buying petrol.

In today's podcast hear why Insulate Britain are still blocking roads in the county despite a warning they could go to jail.

We've also been hearing from people stuck in the delays and getting reaction from South Thanet MP Craig Mackinlay.

It's because of a lorry driver shortage which the government says it's working to solve as quickly as possible.

Our reporter Alex Jee has been to a forecourt in West Malling and we've been speaking to a logistics company in Dartford who are trying to recruit more staff.

You can also hear today from a Medway barber who is doing his bit to try and improve mental health.

Jake Cox trained as a mental health first aider during lockdown and reckons having a chat while getting a trim will help many men who may be struggling.
