So this photo... Obviously taken from the Downing Street estate.. But who would take a photo like this and ultimately leak it to the press, damaging the Prime Minister 🤔

Thread Google maps gives us the direction the photo was taken from... Looks like a room at a back of Number 11...but who works there?

In the early part of my career I sourced automotive parts of from Japan to the UK.

The biggest cost and issue wasn't the tarrif.

But the fact that Japan was thousands of miles away and 4-6 weeks by sea. When preparing something for 6 week on the sea it needs a whole lot of extra packaging and protection than something that will spend 36 hour on an truck from Poland.

You also need to to invest in a repack/wash facility at your factory, more storage space.

Politicians sometimes fuck things up... Who could have predicted that? Also if your "hot take" is that it's good news that we can now have a vaccine trade dispute with our biggest market.. Then I'm not really sure where to start with that 🤷

Everyone on twitter interpreting "best efforts" dependent on their own preconceived opinions.

#EU #vaccinations Brexiters.."best efforts"..that's best efforts of your own failing factories. Keep your hands off of our factory.

Prediction.. GB News will be the Parler of TV news. Lots of talk of everyone moving over.. But any broadcaster on channel 675 is always going to struggle to get mass traction. 24 hour news doesn't have the cultural history as it does in the US. And TV news is losing viewers generally.

What it will do is generate lots of clips for twitter.

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.. 😢
