Very boring how all of these collapsing companies place significant blame on Brexit really.

It seems like every week there is another big business going terminal. They are all using the excuse that Brexit has been a part of tipping them over the edge. Simply a convenient excuse, following the mass of other companies that are in trouble. I mean, surely it couldn't have affected every one of these companies.

Agreed.
But at least it made Steely laugh.

Maple also sees that brexit has had an affect no matter how small.

You're better than that.

Some actual facts. Good to know

Yeah, because everyone knowing about the 'J-curve' really helps with why they are poorer than those they follow?

Has this rise happened year on year though?
If so its a natural rise.
Not because of brexit.

So investors will buy up stocks while they are weak or they have advantage on currency. It's not a good sign

Yet a few years ago when sterling was strong and UK companies were buying up foreign concerns it was supposedly a good sign. How does that work then?

As you know Japan has a new trade deal with the EU so relocating will give direct free access to the single market.

You are becoming very foolish.

I'm glad you agree that the EU have shafted us with the Japan FTA then. If they were still having to pay 10% tariffs on importing cars from Japan, they would consider making them in-situ (assuming the bottom wasn't already falling out of the car market).

What possible incentive do Japanese companies have for investing in manufacturing in the EU (beyond the huge tax breaks they get for EV work in Poland - is that not essentially (super)state-aid?), when they can spin up their currently low-capacity factories at home, employ Japanese workers and then export to this market tariff-free? They will now gain an additional 10% margin AND have the benefit of stimulating the Japanese economy. Or are you expecting all Japaneses cars to be 10% cheaper? If so, I have a bridge to sell you

That said, I'm sure Turkey is also really pissed it's leaving the EU (or indeed the Custom Union), given that they are also shutting down their plant there. Bloody Brexit, eh?

[Link]

On that point, I would actually be pretty f***ing annoyed if I were Turkey. It is a member of the EU customs union (as many would have us be, post-Brexit) yet has absolutely no say in trade deals that the EU negotiates (as many would have us, post-Brexit). It now has to accept imports tariff-free from Japan, but at the same time it's now lost "1000-5000" (src: LinkedIn) jobs.

"Hurrr....!! Hurr!!!! If this was so bad, our Nasty Tory government should have vetoed it! Stupid Tories, we have a say in the EU, we didn't make our voice heard... hurr!"

The EU-Japan FTA was classed as an "EU-only" agreement, rather than a "mixed agreement". Thanks to the political ECJ court (the one that Remainiacs would have us be ruled under), this agreement did not require ratification by individual members states. How convenient. Just another example of the inexorable dilution of veto powers and removal of member state autonomy the EU has been pursuing for years.

Still Brexit, ThankEU.

The only people 'shafting' the UK are the UK themselves.

Anybody can see that, notably those losing their occupations.
