    Whist agreeing with much of what you say, Ross, I don't believe that the recent decisions to curtail or or remove UK investment by Nissan, Toyota, Sony, Panasonic etc was solely due to changes in trading conditions.

    It may suit certain political leanings to assert that Brexit was not a factor but that is either delusional or biased.

    Take Honda for example. The same executive (Ian Howells) who rather adroitly spun the announcement yesterday was telling us less than 2 years ago that leaving the Customs Union was "unprecedented in terms of its total impact" on his business. The Japanese government wrote an unpublished letter to May after the referendum in 2016 pointing out the potential impact of no deal. Poor old Greg Clark did his best yesterday but even his words hinted at the reality of the situation we all now face.

    It's a bit like saying that P&O's decision to operate the ships under a Cypriot flag wasn't Brexit related.
