If Nissan point to brexit as one of the factors and its actually more expensive to build in Japan then why don't they move to France or somewhere
The problem is they don't know the future cost of manufacture at Sunderland. They have no idea what the pound will do, and no idea what their market access will be. BREXIT is a disaster. Right now they need to tool up a new line which is a major investment. Without certainty they won't do that.
But this is what you guys voted for.
You did not answer my question, if you don't know then that's fine.
I think just like some others they are using brexit as a "cover story" didn't the UK give Nissan incentives £££ ? government investment to bring them here. So me thinks they have wanted out for a while but it would look bad on them after the tax payer part funded their move here ( fact check needed ) so brexit provides them with a perfect cover story to do something they have wanted to do.
And his quote was "the continued uncertainty around the UK's future relationship with the EU is not helping companies like ours to plan for the future". That is not him saying it is Brexit.
And the continued uncertainty IMO is wholey down to the remainers constantly trying to frustrate, postpone, cancel, - do anything they can to disrupt brexit. If they got onboard with the majority vote from the start there be no "uncertainty".
