Well, No. This kind of 'Country First' attitude scares away foreign investors. If you impose resolutions on business then they simply will not come here, they won't create jobs.
You can't be bullish and force companies to bend to your will, British ones may be able to be forced to use British labour but at the expense of a lot of other investment and jobs. Also, They won't be able to compete with companies based in countries which do allow them to cut costs and hence won't grow. Again, less jobs.
