Of course, if Mrs May tries to edge towards such a deal to keep big business happy, she has Mr Mogg preparing to tear down such a deal:

DO NOT CAVE: Brexiteers will vote DOWN deal if May gives in to EU demands, warns Rees-Mogg

How would be the Prime Minister at a time like this?
Who would indeed? She's stuck between a rock (keeping business in the country) and a hard place (the hard Brexiters who are happy to throw the economy to the dogs for the sake of what they believe in.)

Public-facing companies have been reluctant to talk too much in public as they're afraid it could impact their sales and businesses that just sell to other businesses don't have much public awareness. However, Airbus does have strong public recognition so hopefully the Government and general public will sit up and take notice to stop the company leaving.
