"A small price to pay for the greater picture. Most brexiters are comfortable with much greater job losses for freedom! "Much greater job losses? That remains a Remainer fantasy as the 500,000 job losses the remain campaign predicted after a leave vote have not materialised. When you look at the economy overall an additional 250,000 new jobs have been created in the UK economy since the vote to leave the EU in June 2016, employment levels are at their highest now since the 1970's and unemployment is at an all time historic low in this country. | |||

"It is obscene for anyone to derive any pleasure from people losing there jobs, maybe there homes as well. Families under severe stress and financial pressures...Point scoring is in a case like this juvenile at best. Oh and i voted to remain . "It's not about deriving pleasure, it's pointing out that the negative effects to the people who voted for people to lose their jobs, to put families under severe stress and financial pressure. Oh how they cheered when the results came in, knowing full well that this would be the outcome. | |||

"Hmmm, where to start on this one? JLR will make its 2018-19 production plans available to its workforce on Monday, so no job cuts have been announced as of yet. However, insiders are sure that expensive agency workers will be let go, and engineers moved between Castle Bromwich and Solihull to plug gaps. So easy to blame Brexit, and there is a small element that customer confidence is low, as the country gets ready to re-adjust, but the real problem is their product. JLR's UK output is 90% diesel. The same diesel that is now being demonised, and as such, sales are down 35% in the first quarter of this year. Goverment action on CO2 and clean air is now biting. Punitive tax regimes and confusing messages are now making diesel cars very unattractive to buy. Various UK cities have plans to introduce diesel taxes and higher parking charges for diesels. One consequence of this, is resale and trade in values, are falling rapidly. JLR have been slow to read the messages and adapt. They have a German CEO in the UK, and the Germans are particularly fond of their diesel cars. Contrast this with their Chinese output, where it is totally petrol. Sales to the USA are predominately petrol as well. JLR continues to recruit and build on its success. It has ambitious investment plans in the UK and whilst its easy for them to put Brexit in the headlines, its actually their product which has led to this readjustment in production. " Just stop production of diesel cars. Build more petrol, hybrids or electric. Simple business strategy. | |||

"Blaming continuing headwinds in the car industry and Brexit. No surprise there then! " The motor manufacturing industry has always been cyclical. It is hardly surprising that sales have fallen from all time high. On a simplistic basis the market is flooded with new vehicles. Doubts about diesel emissions have also dampened the market. The workers concerned are contract workers whose contracts are not being renewed. | |||

Diesel engines aren't the problem, as they are designed to do a specific job, it's the fuel. Cleaner diesel fuel is certainly one answer, as is looking at electric for delivery vehicles. | |||

But Diesel engines are designed to use diesel fuel and the Euro 6 rules have massively reduced the pollutants that come out of the exhaust. Selective catalyst and the quite remarkable Ad Blue have made new diesels very, very clean. | |||

And if you are forced to take a contract job?
forced!#
no one is forced to do anything"You're right, nobody is forced. That said if you're told you cannot be company recruited, but they'll give you a temp contract, snd then only foreseeable option after that is welfare, what do you choose? You've got to feel pretty confident in your skills and labour value to hold out for longer. | |||

"JLR have invested billions in the West Midlands .new engine plant at Wolverhampton , solihull plant must of been virtually rebuilt . New technology’s come on line less need for the human touch . Doubts have been placed on diesels from various sources , this is source of job loses Over the next few years millions of jobs will be lost to new technologies You will all be lining up to pick plums ffs" JLR had to build an engine plant as they were buying them from Ford. They can shift to petrol but they, are way behind the curve on electric investment. They are struggling with the cash flow to do what they need to because the poor build quality and subsequent high warranty costs. VW and BMW and Mercedes are injecting billions that they have in the bank. Even Renault is ahead of the game. You are correct though that the cheap EU labour will be replaced by technology not UK jobs. | |||

Don't know how many times people can say "we haven't left yet" before it sinks in. "Don't know how many times people can point you to the treasury report of April 2016 referring to "the immediate impact of a vote to leave the EU", which forecast 800,000 extra unemployed within two years of voting to leave. That is 'before we have left'. | |||

If you believe that, you'll believe anything! "Nissan are re-adjusting their production policy, with less diesel cars and more hybrids, leading to fully electric models. Some of the automation that I'm working on confirms this. No point making diesel cars if no one is buying them. | |||

"Any mathematical model is based on input data and a number of assumptions. The significant assumptions that the Treasury forecast was based on was: Article 50-being triggered immediately Interest rates would remain the same The global economy would remain unchanged This, in part, was to not prejudge government policy. The appropriate response to this would be to point out that there would be a fiscal response to the (actually over £70 billion of QE plus continuing unrealistically low interest rates). An inappropriate response would be to call it "Project Fear". Not triggering Article 50 meant that panic was replaced by uncertainty. The global economy has been booming since the referendum vote. Almost every market has recorded record growth. This means that their are more people buying. With the fall in the strength of the currency UK produced goods and services are therefore relatively cheap. Particularly for EU states to whom the biggest increase of sales have been to. Foreign direct investment into the UK grew since the vote because UK companies and assets were cheap. This means companies and property was bought, not that new machinery was purchased. UK companies increased prices to increase profits rather than invest to increase output. The trade balance has not improved. The UK is still growing, but its growth rate fell dramatically. The economy is doing far worse than it should compared to the rest of the world. Imported inflation increased costs to companies and households with wages rising at a significantly slower rate. Employment has increased since the referendum vote at the same rate as since about 2013. However, the open question is what the quality of these jobs are. The increase of zero hours contracts and low wage jobs is well documented. Many of the jobs bring lost are more secure and of higher wage. Some job losses are due to long-term trends such as declines in retail. Some to recent events like the fall in diesel sales. Some job losses are due to rising costs or Brexit contingency planning. I haven't yet seen an instance of jobs being created because the UK is leaving the EU. Bear in mind that the churn of jobs has increased significantly since the vote. This means that although net employment has increased, there's has been a significant rise in the number of jobs lost over the same period. So what's the summary? It is actually complicated. There are no simple answers. We are only discussing the purgatory between the referendum vote and a final exit. Some effects are directly due to the referendum vote and the UK's direction of travel and some are not. So far, mainly not." The treasury report was produced before anybody said that article 50 would be triggered 'the very next day'. At no point in the report does it say that it is based upon article 50 being triggered immediately. The report is, however, based on 'the immediate impact of a vote to leave the EU'. | |||

At no point in the report does it say that it is based upon article 50 being triggered immediately. The report is, however, based on 'the immediate impact of a vote to leave the EU'." So from that entire block of analysis the only thing that you have an objection to is the assumption that Article 50 would be triggered immediately? Well, that was the assumption. From the Office of Budget Responsibility report on why the Treasury prediction was wrong: "Some other key assumptions have not held in practice. In its short-term modelling, HM Treasury assumed that after a leave vote the government would trigger Article 50 immediately, in line with the then Prime Minister’s statement to Parliament on 22 February 2016, whereas in practice it was not triggered until March 2017. Uncertainty will continue to remain for some time around the forms that trading relationships will eventually take after the UK leaves the EU." The fact that your assertion here was incorrect does not invalidate your views on anything else but it underlines the point that I was making that this is complicated. Quoting a singular statistic supports no position if you do not also understand the details and interactions with other events in the economy both nationally and globally. | |||
