Except Honda say Brexit will cost them big sums of money regardless of whether its a no-deal Brexit or May's current plan. And BMW has brought its summer shutdown forward to coincide with Brexit date to minimise disruption. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-45561908
Remind me, why were ordinary people allowed to vote in the Brexit referendum? Surely only large businesses and corporations were entitled to vote?
In regards to Honda the boss said he makes those assumptions based on wto rules and us imposing a 10% tarif and the eu imposing a 10% tariff. The U.K. has made it clear it would be prepared to work at zero percent tariff with the eu. He also made it clear that Honda builds the civic at the Swindon plant that are manufactured for the global market, not just Europe, and that there had been no discussions about moving it.
As it becomes closer to the end one way or another, Loz's point kind of sums it up. In a democracy where people fought for the right to vote, who decides a countries future, it's people ...or it's business's
Good to see a business planning for the element of risk associated with a change in import/export process. And back to normal for when the process is fixed enough for BAU
It's another instance of the Junker/Barnier team using every obstruction they can throw at us in the "negotiations" even if it's completely detrimental to the EU27. Their conduct towards the UK has made me feel more optimistic that we will thrive after some initial instability and the EU will reap the seeds they are sowing. Interesting that even the French company Chanel is basing their global HQ hub in London; "a spokesperson for Chanel said that before centralising the business into a single UK holding company, functions were located in a number of different cities: "We wanted to simplify the structure of the business and London is the appropriate place to do that for an international company. London is the most central location to our markets, uses the English language and has strong corporate governance standards with its regulatory and legal requirements." That must have made Macron grimace
I know my schooldays were long ago,but still I remember being taught that factory,mine and mill owners who used to hector/browbeat/threaten their their employees were bad,bad men. How come it's now become acceptable for Nissan,Jaguar and the like to write to their workers and threaten them with financial Armegeddon should they have the temerity to vote against the shareholders best interests?
I found it quite surprising that a German Boss of JLR cited how Brexit could cost them billions, yet Honda suggest tens of millions? I mean yes, lots of tens of millions could make billions, but I feel JLR have over egged it somewhat I take that back, I'm not actually surprised
Vince Cable. Leader of the liberal anti-democrats. ‘Brexit can be stopped. Brexit must be stopped!’ End of speech
I remember when my employer sent around an all-staff email prior to the referendum, telling us all why the company was in favour of Remaining. I actually wrote to the VP responsible for it and had a bit of to-and-fro over whether the email was appropriate, as to me, it was a political act and thus inappropriate in the workplace. In the end we agreed to differ, probably because he was spending too much time arguing with me (and losing). My team leader went pale when I told him all about it. Wimp. So scared of big boys, I think he may have been a Remainder, too.
I think he is in danger of damaging himself by getting worked up but I thoroughly disagree that he should calm down.
The guy is stuck in 1967, and thinks Woodstock is the go to event. He stops people like me, floated with a liberal leaning, voting for them and joining their cause. Utterly detached from reality.
“However the MAC report does little to consider UK needs and instead suggests that increasing the pension age would be a preferential approach to managing demographic change – a completely unsustainable position and one we would reject. “This report will also be deeply disappointing to businesses and employers across Scotland who asked for a simple, low cost approach to migration which took into account the requirements of their sectors.

Fin your copy and paste is still skewith as you have deliberately I suggest, merged parts of the mac report with the observations of the Scottish Herald and various Scottish nationalist quotes. Scotland wants to manage it's own migration and set it's own immigration standards and numbers, this is impossible to work and the committee recognises that 1 Scotland is part of the U.K. and not separate to it 2 if you ever needed and example of the negatives of open borders and migration control, look at the eu
He's already lost the money as some of his many new products are not selling just when he's ploughing billions in to BEV and PHEV vehicles
yvette cooper is in the snp? all those business representatives are in the snp? ferk me, did yer man not waste all that time in the past exposing many of them as tory spads and think tank members. i know it sounds Scottish but MAC is not a Scottish gov advisory group, and yer right, scotland is a part of the uk, there's a contract that proves it and deserves the right to highlight and campaign on the issues they raise. we cant be expected to rely on yous english nationalists to do it.
