But not to worry any job loss costs will be borne by the UK taxpayer in the form of unemployment & other benefits so in short someone else is paying

I have often wondered if German vehicles are cheaper than any one elses when tenders are invited for Police Fire Ambulance vehicles as you will not see many other than German vehicles used in Germany in this area
Same goes for France & Italy
Odd int it?
UK businesses have a number of issues they need to address , productivity is very low , that needs to improve , massively .

Wage stagnation is also a factor , if money is tight then obviously consumers aren't going to be buying products .

Chicken and the egg situation , investment to kick start business or carry on cutting back ?

The electorate will have the opportunity to decide at the next GE exile .
