Honda spokesman:

“For financial year 2018/19, the breakdown of cars built at Honda of the UK Manufacturing Ltd is Diesel 6% and Petrol 94%.”
tbf the proportion of diesel engines built in Swindon is higher at just over 1 in 10:

“For financial year 2018/19, the breakdown of engines built at Honda of the UK Manufacturing Ltd is Diesel 12% and Petrol 88%.”
turns out Honda isn’t blaming diesel or Brexit for the decision

SNP's Deirdre Brock asks the prime minister about a Number 10 visit by the former head of Cambridge Analytica in 2016:

"Who did Alexander Nix meet in 10 Downing Street, what were the purposes of this visit and why was it not reported in the transparency data?"

#PMQs
May replied that she would “look into the issue" but also vaguely claimed to have answered the question elsewhere

Philip Hammond has promised a consultation later this year on a post-Brexit “Shared Prosperity Fund” potentially worth £15bn over a decade to replace EU economic development aid after UK leaves the bloc.

The big question: who will get the money?

Will ministers allocate structural funds according to...

1) EU programme 2014-2020 which was Cornwall & West Wales/Valleys?

2) 2021-2027 projections for ‘Developing’ regions which was Cornwall/Wales PLUS South Yorks, Tees Valley and Lincolnshire?

Or

3) political motivations?
thanks for everyone telling me the answer is “3” I had no idea

Flood özet: sanayi devrimi üçe ayrılır. birinci, ikinci ve üçüncü sanayi devrimidir. İkinci sanayi devriminden sonra ticaretin gelişmesiyle ve ulaşım araçlarına olan talebin artmasıyla birlikte petrole olan talep hızla artmıştır.

So much nonsense posted about #Honda today..

But ask yourself the question, we know EV's are the future industry is spending billions on them.. So what could have happened two years ago that stopped EV investment in the UK, and what is likely to happen to traditional car plants?
Investment taps have been turned off due to May's policy of leaving the SM/CU, £2.5bils in 15 to £0.5bils in 18

As the world was shifting to EV's we put up the "not welcome" sign and investment went elsewhere.

As legacy non EV products ramp down so will the industry.. 😢
This isn't the result of a "bad brexit deal" or anything that happened this month, it's the inevitable consequence of May's red lines

Once we missed out on the EV investment over the last few years the writing was on the wall.

As you may have seen, my colleague @MarkKleinmanSky just broke the news that Honda are planning to close their car factory in Swindon. 3,500 jobs at risk. Will be closed by 2022. A very big deal. A few further thoughts:
Some will be tempted to put the Honda closure down to Brexit. But not so hasty: major secular shifts happening in auto industry: dieselgate, shift to electric powertrains, econ demand moving from G7 to China etc. They are likely to have played as big if not bigger a part
More directly significant than Brexit is the fact that Japan now has a free trade deal with the EU. All of a sudden the economic obstacles to making a car in Japan and sending it to the EU have diminished. More on this here trade.ec.europa.eu/doclib/press/i… #Honda

Hi Carlo, as an ordinary UCU member I am concerned about process. In her email today (reproduced at ucu.org.uk/article/9424/L…) Sally Hunt says that all last week, 'working through ACAS' she pressed UUK on the issues of a joint expert panel and ...
meanwhile taking 'the current proposal to axe the guaranteed pension off the table'. She then says 'The proposal from UUK is their final response to that pressure from UCU'. This suggests (a) that there were informal contacts between Sally Hunt and other UCU leaders and UUK ...
and (b) as part of these contacts UUK communicated to Sally and her colleagues that the offer they sent on 23rd March was their 'final response', and (c) the UCU negotiating team were not part of this whole process. I can understand that in a situation like this there may be ....
