One of the conditions the owners have placed on it being kept open, is certain negotiations with the trade unions. I don't know if, or how any negotiations have gone.
There is still the
final EU negotiations yet to come, so any "deal" or "no deal" is not yet relevant.
Worldwide car production is being reduced, so outside of Brexit there are problems, temporary shutdowns, and closures.
If the EU were truly interested in a "level playing field", they would stop propping up other EU countries. EG Poland gets 9bn/year, and that's on top of the over £1bn the country gets from the UK, from Poles living here.
