😄 I tweeted this last night because I expected a Twitter storm over Nissan.
Just logged on to Twitter properly... and I see everyone is having fun. So let's address some things...

1) As explained above, we damaged the supply route 70% of Nissan cars use, so now their survival depends on swallowing those costs or increasing their market share in the UK.
But their competitors in the UK will be thinking the same thing, so keep an eye on TOTAL UK car jobs.

2) A vital part of increasing their market share in the UK will be bigging up their plans for the UK with announcement like today.
3) Most importantly: Patience, Brexiteers.
The whole point of Brexit was to gain the control of our laws you wanted, to make the UK more competitive.
And the Brexit deal says EU trade (70% Nissan cars) will be damaged when he actually does that.

So even if Nissan's business model can cope now because we're still mostly aligned with EU rules via the level playing field, if Boris Johnson actually uses that "sovereignty" he's paralysed our country over for years, that's when you'll see tariffs come in, so all that changes.
4) And this the most basic one:
We have a Prime Minister who had bluntly said he wanted No-Deal Brexit.
And a Nissan CEO who had bluntly said Nissan's business model would be unsustainable if there was a No-Deal.
The maths wasn't hard.

So please, everyone keep quote tweeting this tweet.
I tweeted it two months before the video of Boris Johnson above this tweet. So I tweeted it while Boris Johnson was actively pushing for No-Deal Brexit which Nissan said would end their UK business.
