It sounds like a multi-national company flexing its muscle at a crucial point of negotiations. I don't think any organisation would make multi-million pound decisions at this stage without understanding the deal.

This is more about influencing a deal in Nissan's favour. If there was any organisation in the world that understood the emotive political power of a Tory get it done government letting down the workers and voters of Sunderland it is Nissan.

Which can only mean pressurising the UK government to concede on issues that make the free movement of goods the most liberal.

The Tory worry bit comes when people see the deal and they work out what was sacrificed for what was gained.
