Or :
Norton Motorcycles went into administration—the rough UK equivalent of Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the States—back in January amid stories of growing debts and undelivered bikes, legal action over unpaid taxes, and a brewing scandal over a mishandled pension scheme

It's pointless engaging in 'news' that is nothing more than anecdotal twitter memes. All the big data on unemployment and economic growth is there for us all see, and it's not negative, which is why the zealous will dig deeper into the twitter pit to find some obscure and probably unrelated article, and go "ta daaaar! this proves I WAS right!"

If people ignore the bigger picture and choose to find random cherry picked stuff from twitter, that's their loss.

Re: Another Brexit Bonus

What's more, the post wasnt even accurate, as it left off the rather important latest bit of news about production restarting. Which is weird, because its late 2021 now and administration was 18 months ago..

Good news for workers...bad news for rabbit-holers.

Re: Another Brexit Bonus

Five years*ago, straight after Britain’s vote to leave the European Union (eu), Nissan, a Japanese carmaker, warned that the future of its factory in Sunderland was in doubt. On July 1st it announced a £1bn ($1.3bn) investment in a new battery plant that will secure the factory’s future. And on July 6th Stellantis, another motor manufacturer, said it would be investing £100m to produce electric vans in Ellesmere Port. Further news is expected soon from*bmw*and Toyota. The trade deal that Britain struck with the*eu*in December 2020—and eye-watering amounts of government cash—have bosses musing less about upping sticks, and more about the advantages of post-Brexit regulatory freedom.

Where did you lift that unattributed quote from?

Just wondering who (not you) is assessing the levels of 'government cash' available to companies willing to flip their position on Brexit as 'eye watering'.

in my industry there definitely isn't post Brexit regulatory freedom, but instead a new raft of regulatory requirements to meet for the UK.

Re: Another Brexit Bonus

Just back from travelling through the West Country I couldn't help be struck by the number of advertised job vacancies , which I guess is a healthy thing as business recovers and those job opportunities appear.
