Yup, they're OK for a couple of weeks then go down hill rapidly and finally give up the pretence. A bit like him really.

We have had several Dyson cleaners and all gave good service for years.

A result of globalisation, that Mr Blair loved, and by all counts Mr Starmer too.

Face it. Brexit's been a disaster and anyone that voted for it must take some responsibility , and stop blaming everyone and anything else.

Dyson has a knack of taking something that is simple and cheap and turning it into something ridiculously complicated and very expensive .

What’s it got to do with Brexit? Dyson offshored all his manufacturing years ago, well before Brexit, due to the globalisation Blair strived for, and Starmer is just Blair and Brown’s fourth term.

The fun of the Tories losing the Election, is that I get to be you and everyone else, over the last 14yrs that continually whinged about the Tories, but now I can do it about the illegitimate Labour government.

Brexit could have been a huge success and it would have put lefty Labour in Opposition for ever. It was the way it was implemented by Boris's remoaner government who gave us Brexit in name only. If we'd had a proper Brexit then we would have trade deals now with China, India, the USA and Narnia with GDP growth ahead of the USA and China combined. :D

I agree with you on the product analysis.

Every British PM over the last 30 years or so has favoured globalisation, it's strange to ascribe that exclusively to Labour Prime Ministers.

It's ironic that since we left the EU which Dyson famously advocated for, Dyson has actually reduced its UK headcount significantly. Personally, I don't ascribe it to the red tape and increased costs of Brexit but to Dyson focusing on Asia and finding labour costs there lower.
