The evidence is starting to build that manufacturers are leaving the UK. Investment in UK car industry is down 80%. Maybe not all be down to Brexit - but it is a factor (you cant ignore what the likes of Honda and Toyota are saying). Its a clear sign they are not looking to develop new models over here.

Given we have a highly skilled workforce why do you think they are ignoring Britain?

Its mounting up. Banking, Insurance, Steel, Aircraft, Cars, JCB, Dyson - all re positioning away from Britain. I think its worrying times.
They are looking away from here because they can pay skilled workers a pittance compared to the UK , it's that simple .

This is my point about globalisation killing the working class .

The costs of production will fall but will you see the price of a new Honda fall in the UK , no you won't , that reduction in cost will benefit the boardroom and nobody else .

Can't you see the game here that's played out ? , the distribution of wealth , more for those at the top whilst skilled workers are left to work in another Amazon DC .
