Well there are a number of instances of closures where the management has been at pains to say it's not to do with Brexit, O no, definitely not, but I'm sufficiently lacking in faith in the Tory Govt. to suspect companies are being threatened with withdrawal of funds if they badmouth Brexit. A Govt that can bribe Western Europe's most backward political party to support it can't be entirely squeaky clean. ;)

My son works for a company in Gloucester which exclusively supplies Honda and of course that will entirely fold pretty soon. That's another 600 people gone, just one example of the wider impact. The Government would never publish the real figure of redundancies for obvious reasons (an Oxford academic says 10,000 in the supply chain alone). Meanwhile, Corbyn won't support a peoples' vote for exactly the same reasons.

Have you seen what Tom Watson said about the Party? What a really nice fellow.
