Brexit means no safeguarded jobs

Safeguarded jobs from inward investment dropped by 54% in the last year alone, a report published by the Department for International Trade has revealed. Commenting, Best for Britain champion Gareth Thomas MP said:

"Brexit uncertainty has created the catalogue of errors that has led to this. The government have created this disaster and now we are reaping the consequences.”
 
"It takes exceptional levels of incompetence to deliver results like these. The government is a car crash and now we see Liam Fox is failing at the most basic job his department is meant to do."
