However, no that Japan has got its FTA with the EU that isn’t so urgent now. They will cite Brexit for their reasoning and probably is a factor, but not the whole reason

As you say not job losses but the job creation aspect is wiped out not just at Nissan but for all the suppliers. Diesel turndown which also plays a part can’t be used as a reason as Nissan are revamping the engine range. The lines in Sunderland are the most effective that Nissan have in their manufacturing base.
The people of Sunderland as a whole are turkeys voting for Christmas. Sunderland needs all the investment that they can get. The city is a shadow of its former self.
