Honda would lose a lot of future car-buyers if it cited Brexit as a contributory reason for closure so sensibly it has not.

It's unclear whether the Ineos Grenadier will have any electric versions available.
Why would Ineos take on 3,500 people at Swindon, when they only needed 200 initially and only up to 500 people? Pure nonsense.
As a result of this, Portugal is also losing out on the proposed plant for making the bodies and chassis. Has Portugal been affected by Brexit?
