The company said: “The uncertainty surrounding Brexit was one factor amongst others in the analysis of the UK market.”
“However, we remain committed to keeping certain activities in the UK, a country that will continue to be important to us.”
He added: “The changes to our UK footprint are designed to make us more efficient by relocating parts of our production closer to where our products are used.
“What we are planning for the UK delivers on our Agenda 4 plus One programme.
“Brexit is clearly not the single decisive factor behind our decision-making for the UK market, but the need to plan for various complex scenarios has brought forward the timing.”
Not quite the whole truth from you again is it, a bit like your claim there was 800,000 on the peoples vote march |

"But Ian Duncan Smith said not one job would be lost?"
Well, technically he is correct, not a single job will be lost to brexit...
100's or 10's or 100's maybe millions of jobs will relocate to other countries.
None will be lost, wee will know exactly where every one of them has gone.

Ah right thanks for clearing that up for us...
Seems you have a knack of seeing/hearing what you want, rather than what is written or said...
I seem to remember you quoting a claim of UP TO 700,000 as a firm 700,000 that you have now inflated to 800,000 and again you do exactly what you accuse others of doing.
I have noticed you have a habit of doing this and I for one consider what you do dishonest. If you are trying to make a point you could try using hyperbole (as I do), it works (see my comment about IDS's statement above). |

In December 2018, the Government signed agreements worth £107.7 million with 3 ferry companies to provide extra capacity in event of a no deal Brexit. Turns out Seaborne (£13.8 million deal) had no ferries, or experience in the transport industry!

The country is split down the middle and it is looking increasingly likely that there may well be mass civil unrest and a return to 'the troubles' in NI and that we no longer have either the Armed Forces or regional police numbers to keep the peace. |

Why you lost confidence? If there is no deal on aviation then the planes will not be flying. It is as simple as that. This was the case the. This is the case now. This will be the case tomorrow.

It is you who reads what you want, the poster claimed the jobs were lost DUE to brexit. The quotes I used were direct from the company when they announced these cuts, do you have a job understanding what ONE factor means.
As for you other claim cracken said he was on the march and had worked out there was 800,000 on the march, if you wish I can put up his claim as I have it booked marked from checking up yesterday when this story of more remain lies broke, |

Depends on who you listen to about the claim of medicine shortages. The Health secretary Matthew Hancock said today in the press no deal planning for continuation of supply of medicines is more or less complete. There is no chance of medicine shortages happening because of Brexit, even in the event of no deal. So as with the planes being grounded nonsense, claims of medicine shortages are yet more pie in the sky remoaner scaremongering. |

It strikes me that the pro-Brexit argument is currently: In a best case scenario, things will be the same as now, only with the government forking out more cash. |

See which thread fills first, lol. Wouldn't be a fair contest would it as your thread already has many posts on it and was posted several hours ago, but far be it for a remainer to try to gain an unfair advantage. It's not like remainers haven't tried to gain unfair advantages in the past is it, or do you need reminding that David Cameron gave £9 million of taxpayers money to the remain campaign for a pro EU propaganda leaflet, gaining an unfair advantage and didn't afford the same courtesy towards the leave campaign. |

This is a pilot test of the system, so not fully developed and pilot tests are always needed to smooth out any wrinkles so that the system will run smoothly and efficiently when fully rolled out in March 2019. EU citizens wishing to stay in the UK will need to pay a one off lifetime fee of £65 to remain in the UK after Brexit. This will bring in £195 million to the Treasury as there are around 3 million EU citizens in the UK. |

Did you mean the 'People's Vote' march false attendance figures. Not 800,000 as Cracken originally claimed, not the 700,000 the Peoples Vote claimed but 250,000 attendees as revealed by the Greater London Authority and Scotland Yard. |

So you agree now planes will fly? you was spouting a load of technical crap that a plane would not be leaving the uk in the case of a no deal for various reasons which i didnt argue against as you seem to be in the know.Turns out you knew jack shit so i repeat i have lost any credibility in anything you say now.Seems by an earlier post your mate matt still believes you too. |

Funny how a lot of remainers have now developed a sudden affinity with and sympathy for bankers, lol. Many were calling bankers all the names under the sun back in 2008/09 after the crash they caused, and then they got bailed out with our (taxpayers) money, most of the population were putting a curse on bankers and wishing a plague on all their houses. People haven't forgotten. Rest assured many in the country (I'd say a majority) still have very little sympathy for bankers and couldn't give a shit about them. |

Did you mean the 'People's Vote' march false attendance figures. Not 800,000 as Cracken originally claimed, not the 700,000 the Peoples Vote claimed but 250,000 attendees as revealed by the Greater London Authority and Scotland Yard. "
That's the one! He had a lot to say about it at the time but now it turns out there was less than a 1/3 of the people he claimed to be there he goes all coy!! |

Brexit is killing a crucial source of early-stage tech funding: "Funding for UK tech firms by the European Investment Fund (EIF) fell by 91 per cent during 2017 to €61.1m (£53m) compared with €708.8m the previous year."

DEXEU (the Brexit Ministry) has spent over £100 million (estimated) on staffing costs since the referendum. That figure's just for the people in the department, and doesn't account for any other costs..

"Home Office private beta of EU citizen registration system took 2 weeks to process just 1,053 applicants (despite testing relatively "easy" batches of cases). Full system will have to work 36x faster to cope with *3 million* people in 3 years.
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/eu-settlement-scheme-private-beta-1
This is a pilot test of the system, so not fully developed and pilot tests are always needed to smooth out any wrinkles so that the system will run smoothly and efficiently when fully rolled out in March 2019. EU citizens wishing to stay in the UK will need to pay a one off lifetime fee of £65 to remain in the UK after Brexit. This will bring in £195 million to the Treasury as there are around 3 million EU citizens in the UK. "

"A ferry company has brought in 2 new ships, including the "Brexit Buster" ship Celine (600 truck capacity, world's largest short sea roll-on roll-off ferry). Idea is to bypass the UK and send freight directly from Ireland to Belgium and Spain.
https://www.irishtimes.com/news/ireland/irish-news/brexit-busting-ferry-launched-from-dublin-port-1.3468760?mode=amp
This is good news for the UK and UK motorists! Less traffic on already over congested UK roads can only be a good thing! As a motorist I'm pleased about this. Maybe you should start a new thread titled "Good things to happen to the UK because of Brexit" and put this as one of the reasons, lol. "
Is there no downside for the employees of the ferry companies that currently provide the links to Ireland? Are there no businesses which flourish in Holyhead and Fishguard on the back of Irish traffic? Have you thought this through? (I know the answer to that btw) |

Operation Brock (An updated Operation Stack) where 1 side of the M20 is turned into a lorry park and the other side has a steel and concrete barrier run down its centre and is made into a single carriageway contraflow at a cost of £30 million to gridlock Kent and the South East. (No need to test that part of the plan. We all know the mayhem closing 2 lanes of the southbound carriageway and turning it into a lorry park causes every time the French close down Calais. |

"But Ian Duncan Smith said not one job would be lost?
Since the vote to leave in 2016, the fact is more jobs have been added to the UK economy than lost.
Evidence.please?"
Just have a look at the office for national statistics figures (ONS) or official Home office government jobs figures. |

Define a good job.
Not every person can earn £50,000 grand a year many of the most important jobs such as looking after the old and infirm or working in retail or the leisure industry seem to be regard by the "clever" people as second class ones, all these young coming out of uni with mickey mouse degrees think many jobs are beneath them |

"Brexit is already costing the UK over £500 million a week. We realy could spend that money on our NHS instead."
The NHS is now spending money on a charter aircraft to fly in isotopes from the Netherlands for cancer diagnosis.
Petten in the Netherlands is the main supplier - the UK has not produced its own for decades.
They are delivered by road and ferry at the moment.
The isotopes have such a short half-life that they would perish in the delays at the ports.
So now the NHS is chartering an aircraft to bypass the ports.
Well done Brexiteers on sucking more money from the NHS to pay for your sovereignty. |

Yes I would define £50k as a fairly decent job. £30k is an o.k. job under £20k is a shit job. Over £60k is a good job £2m is lucky bastard job and a £75m is obscene!

Banks and financial institutions have shifted at least $1 trillion worth of assets out of the UK and into the European Union because of Brexit.
Other firms are moving assets to protect clients against market volatility and sudden changes in regulation.
10 per cent of the total assets of the UK banking sector, have already been moved, according to “conservative estimates”. |

"Hopefully we can have another bank holiday. Liberation day would be nice just like the Dutch do for when they were liberated from the Germans. 
That too, we could have everything "
Corbyn and the Labour party proposed more bank holidays in its 2017 general election manifesto, which also included Brexit by the way. So presumably Labour voters wouldn't object to an extra bank holiday or two. |

These are commercial industrial coldrooms not refrigerators.
And yes there are several large coldrooms being built as we speak.
2 very large rooms in the Northwest 1 in Haydock and 1 in Runcorn, both over 7000m2
Thankfully we are supplying the coldroom panels for 1 of them so very good additional business for us. |

European Medical Agency (EMA), Europe's medicines regulator, is moving from London to Amsterdam. It used to employ close to 900 people in London. It's had to cut its short-term service offering as it will lose at least 30% of staff during the move.

Has anyone seen a direct quote. Nothing in CBI website. Some of the other numbers are consistent with 2016 estimates so I’m a little suprised if they have pulled back so much. It has a feel of journalistic license atm to say “thousands”. |
