You never know fin, if the snp behave themselves and put all their toys away, they might get a car plant too
But will it, who will they vote for ? Corbyn whose customs union would leave us tied to the EU without any say, a policy designed not for the benefit of the UK but to cause division within the Conservative party and bring down the government in the hope that we would be stupid enough to vote for him ?
It's not because or despite anything - they are just building it there #Ford build the Transit in Turkey because of the EU, hazzah!
cool. dude, see if there wasent prosperity in turkey, could they afford to buy an english assembled transit?
It's the shape of things to come. We should have stayed in the eu for the lovely Mediterranean weather we'd have been entitled to.
We'll be free to negotiate our own weather after Brexit. There's a whole world of meteorology out there with so many more climatic options than the restricted EU choice between sun loungers and peat bogs. We can have a bespoke weather deal. Bring it on.
i'v seen a video of an owner of a tyre fitting business, mong motors i think was the name, he would deffo believe that.
Embrace the new opportunities @finm. Post-Brexit, if you choose to and you elect the right government, you'll actually be able to have a proper summer in Scotland. Just think, three days in June when you can go outside without a coat instead of one day every leap year. You won't get that with the EU.
But surely there will be a bloody Great Wall there to keep out the best of the weather from around the world?
UK wages rise as companies struggle to fill vacancies Unemployment rate close to its lowest level since 1975 Power has shifted to employees, says Kevin Green at the Recruitment and Employment Confederation. 'It’s a seller’s market' February 28, 2018 5:00 am by Gavin Jackson in London Nik Wyers cannot find enough workers for Floorbrite, his office cleaning company in Manchester. So for one recent contract, he had to up Floorbrite’s hourly rate from £8.50 to £10. “The cleaning staff that are available are able to pick and choose which jobs they accept,” he said. “We have been forced to increase the rate of pay. It’s not an ideal solution.” Mr Wyers is not alone. The Bank of England believes that after nearly a decade of stagnation, it is seeing evidence of rising wages as companies are forced to pay more to fill their vacancies. If it is right, inflation could be stronger than expected and the bank may need to raise interest rates more quickly. “There does seem to me more impetus on wages,” said Dave Ramsden, a deputy governor at the bank, to the Sunday Times. Mr Ramsden was one of the two members of the nine-person Monetary Policy Committee to vote against an interest rate rise last November, but he now says he sees “the case for rates rising somewhat sooner rather than somewhat later”. At the Georgian House hotel in London, Serena von der Heyde said she has raised wages twice, by a total of 20 per cent, so far this year. “We’re focusing on retention, the less we have to recruit the more we’re shielding ourselves from the pressures that are out there,” said Ms von der Heyde, the hotel’s owner. But she added: “For all the efforts we make, we’re fighting against the tide. I really just don’t believe we are going to meet our requirements with the low unemployment rate we have in London.” Food services has the highest vacancies rate of any sector © Bloomberg Data last week from the Office for National Statistics showed that the number of unfilled jobs in UK job market reached a 17-year high in the final quarter of last year, with 2.8 vacancies for every 100 employees. At the same time, the unemployment rate is close to its lowest level since 1975, suggesting that there are few workers out there to fill positions, especially with immigration from the EU falling since the Brexit referendum. Power has shifted to employees, said Kevin Green, chief executive of the Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC). “It’s a seller’s market,” he said. There are particular shortages of chefs, lorry drivers and public sector staff including teachers and nurses, he said, while IT workers and engineers remain highly in demand. https://amp.ft.com/content/122b2c84-17fc-11e8-9e9c-25c814761640?__twitter_impression=true
