Rayvin 5186 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Well, that's good I guess. To be honest about this, I'd far rather be wrong about Brexit, so if companies like Nissan are prepared to invest, that's a positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21847 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 (edited) Most definitely. I wonder if Carlos Gohsn received private reassurance from Mrs May like she gave to the investment banks. It's an incredible leap of faith otherwise. Either way, it's excellent news for the north east. Edited October 27, 2016 by Dr Gloom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 5186 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 A lot of people are reporting that he did, so that kind of dampens the optimism a little bit. Will we be compensating Nissan in a few years...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 30372 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Seems like we'll be going for a soft Brexit disguised as a hard Brexit. Though whether the EU is prepared to give us that remains to be seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 5186 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Yeah that is what it seems like, but how are the Tories going to be able to spin that? What do they come out and say? The EU isn't going to give us single market access without freedom of movement so how are the Tories going to be able to go back to the voters and say that they've delivered?

Dr Gloom 21847 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 the interesting thing will be how it goes down with voters if or when a soft brexit is disguised as a hard one. if article 50 is indeed triggered in march, we should now just how squishy or firm our brexit is hot on the heels of the next general election. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddockLad 17124 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 (edited) Now Nissan announces it'll build its next generation SUV in Sunderland. I didn't see that coming! Neither did they until they received "assurances from the government" Which almost certainly means tax payers money propping up private business as a result of Brexit. Now if labour had suggested interfearing in the UK car export market... Edited October 27, 2016 by PaddockLad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leon 13 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Now Nissan announces it'll build its next generation SUV in Sunderland. I didn't see that coming! Carlos Ghosn, Nissan's chief executive "Nissan might not invest in the Sunderland plant unless the government guaranteed compensation for costs related to any new trade tariffs resulting from Brexit." Â [Meets with Theresa May] -Â A Nissan spokesman said making the X-Trail at Sunderland could lead to hundreds of new jobs being created in the coming years. Â Â Does this mean we've just committed to a compensation plan against tariffs which are yet to be agreed??? Â Â Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 5186 Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Â I mean, you'd expect our foreign office administrators would know all that, but even so it's an amusing sentiment.

Meenzer 15435 Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 It's one of those frustratingly nichtssagende words.
