Oh, just a hunch.

And the fact that so many similar statements made before the referendum have also turned out to be bogus.

The existing facilities are a sunk cost - they've no choice but to be positive.

It'll be more interesting to see where they make future investments in production to service the EU market. At best investment will be delayed and, at worst, it'll go elsewhere.

However, the sun has risen in the East for a couple of weeks without fail since the referendum so obviously it's going to be great.

Would have preferred a PM who campaigned for Brexit but she appears determined to make Brexit happen and is a safe pair of hands.

Wonder what she meant by "...giving people more control of their lives"

She meant the government/taxpayer will be giving them less input (benefits) Brexit is the perfect cover for the Tories to put in place some of their favourite ideological driven cost cutting measures , as a punishment for making May go through the motions of leaving her favourite Super-state. Landlords beware.

It is very positive news that Britain will have a fully operating Prime Minister on Wednesday. Shortly after that we will have a cabinet that have a purpose and know they have a job to do.
Great news.
I hope they will be working very quickly to put out a plan and a time scale.
I feel more positive already.

Indeed.

And when the UK has negotiated trade deals with the US, China, India and Commonwealth countries (something the EU has failed to achieve in 50+ years) where will companies like Siemens build their new factories to access those markets?

The UK or the EU?

This is how forums die. Been fun while it lasted.

Curtain up on an empty dimly lit stage.....drumroll....couple of sobs and a quiet fart and it`s over. Not much to kill here really, same half-dozen or so muppets ramping property for the most part, surprised it`s lasted this long TBH.

The teethless, uneducated and unemployable brexit-voting masses will be just as teethless, uneducated and unemployable after brexit.

And the powerful, educated ones who voted Remain will also do just fine under Brexit.

Which reflects the inequality and unfairness that now exists. Wealth created for having done nothing else other than owning a property.

I agree that is part of it but there have always been those with property and those without. I cannot afford a mansion, but it does not affect my life if someone else can. Their ownership does not materially affect me in in my more modest abode.

But I agree that inequality and unfairness are the root of the problem with people feeling aggrieved by so many things including lack of opportunity to improve their lot (housing, pay, work, their environment). This was present during the Blair years but has been aggravated by the austerity agenda. Sadly it is manifesting itself in unhelpful ways such as xenophobia.

Neither? Siemens have facilities all over the world.

The question is where does new money invest to access the EU market.

Now the three degrees (Johnson, Gove & Farage) have done one and the Brexiteers last great hope Leadsom showed herself to be politically naive there's a glimmer of hope the answer might be the UK.

Believe me, we're unveiling an unrivalled prosperity era and my hope and expectation is all will benefit

I do hope your optimism is justified, genuinely. If you are great, but I am a glass half empty person.:cool:

Yes. Companies invest everywhere, you don't have to be in the EU to attract investment.
