Workers on a car production line at the Nissan factory in Sunderland.
JAPANESE car makers moved to Britain because it offered access to the large European car market, not just UK buyers.
I can’t see three factories remaining in Britain if a no deal Brexit goes through, and perhaps not even if it doesn’t.
There are good reasons to dislike the EU but Conservative and UKIP politicians misled the public about the ease of Brexit and new trade deals. Voting Leave now looks like an own goal for the North-East. The area deserves better.
