No doubt the number of people employed by Vauxhall has been in decline for many many years. As an indirect result the entire area has become economically poorer. Motor industry globally is going through fundamental change with overcapacity a major issue. New plants will be built where the Labour and power supply is cheaper.

I wonder if the uncertainty of our future trading relationship with Europe has made things better or worse?

During your detailed research did you consider whether brexit might make things better or worse?

Why are shortages currently being experienced?

Vauxhall has been owned by a US company since 1925.

That's people who are trying to run businesses, people who don't know what their status is in the country they are living in, people who are terrifed they might lose their jobs, people who might not get their meds.


And to you it's just a joke...


What the heck has happened to some Brits? (or is it actually just some English ?)

My life is defendant on meds that are already often in short supply, I think using peoples fears to stop democracy is disgusting, you should be ashamed of yourself.

PSA, the French carmaker that owns Vauxhall, on Sunday made explicit its pledge to pull all production from the Ellesmere Port plant in Cheshire and switch to a site in mainland Europe if Brexit renders the factory unprofitable.
Its chief executive, Carlos Tavares, said the business had lined up an alternative location in southern Europe to build Vauxhall Astra and Opel Astra cars if the UK did not achieve a satisfactory outcome when leaving the EU. “I would prefer to put [the Astra] in Ellesmere Port but, if the conditions are bad and I cannot make it profitable, then I have to protect the rest of the company and I will not do it,” he told the Financial Times.

The move would probably lead to the closure of the plant on the Wirral, which employs more than 1,000 workers, and would reduce the company’s presence in the UK to its van plant in Luton, employing just over 1,000.

Wages are cheaper in Eastern Europe. The EU is investing in infrastructure projects which makes areas far more accessible. Provides employment for deprived areas.
