Guest Posted 13 April 2018 Posted 13 April 2018 (edited) 5 minutes ago, MattP said: Where does it said the headwinds are Brexit? Ongoing uncertainty surrounding Brexit is being felt by customers at home and in Europe,” the company said on Monday. “Concern around the future of petrol and diesel engines – and general global economic and political uncertainty – and it’s clear to see why the industry is seeing an impact on car sales. “Following a review of planned volumes, we are planning to make some temporary adjustments to the production schedule at Halewood in Q2.” This is hardly a surprise. Car manufacturers have been warning about the impact of Brexit and Brexit uncertainty for some time. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2018/mar/06/brexit-carmakers-step-up-warnings-on-impact-of-uncertainty https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2017/03/29/car-makers-warn-brexit-biggest-threat-generation-uk-car-industry/ http://europe.autonews.com/article/20171026/ANE/171029814?template=mobile02&X-IgnoreUserAgent=1 Do you not think Brexit and the ongoing uncertainty is having any impact despite manufacturers telling everybody it would and is? What do you know that the manufacturers don't? I haven't said it's the only thing but it is listed as a factor. Edited 13 April 2018 by Guest

Webbo Posted 13 April 2018 Posted 13 April 2018 More about the headwinds of Brexit; Quote Brexit deal lifts confidence Business leaders’ confidence in the economy has returned to positive territory for the first time in almost a year after a Brexit transition deal with Brussels was agreed last month. The Institute of Directors said a poll of 700 company directors found that optimism about the economy came in higher than at any time since Theresa May triggered Article 50 in March last year. In addition, for the first time since withdrawal negotiations began, the UK’s uncertain trading status with the European Union has fallen out of the top three concerns of business leaders. Economic conditions, skills shortages and compliance with government regulation now occupy the top spots. This echoes similar findings from a quarterly survey of finance directors by the accountants Deloitte, which found that Brexit has dropped from the top of business leaders’ biggest fears for the first time since the referendum. Business confidence was boosted by the transition deal agreed last month that will give companies until the start of 2021 to prepare for life outside the EU, meaning that many businesses can operate as normal for 21 months beyond the Brexit date of next March 29. Tej Parikh, senior economist at the Institute of Directors, said: “It seems likely meaningful progress in Brexit negotiations since December has brought some much needed reassurance.” https://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/business/brexit-deal-lifts-confidence-mwqr9609c

What I'd expect to be the least of the current factors considering the vast majority of their UK business is based around diesel cars, which are currently taking an absolute battering. But let's make brexit the headline to hook the fish. You're like a cheap whore looking for their next crack fix mate.

I've been very clear that its only one of a number of factors. That's it. In response the four horsemen of the Brexit apocalypse (that's tongue in cheek) have ridden out to banish any negativity about their pet project. I think you need to look in the mirror 'mate'.

Looks like it’s Reuters that had the source citing Brexit; Guardian and Sun maybe just lifted the story? It’s always useful to look at the range of reproting in something like this though - at least for me. 1
