That was partly our money and we have no power to stop it even though, technically, we are still in the EU.

You must have missed the bit where it was Slovakian state aid that persuaded JLR to build a new car plant there instead of in Mexico.
The EU undertook a regulatory check to ensure that the aid was within permitted guidelines but made no financial contribution.

One of the functions of the EU checks is to ensure:
“The aid must not directly cause the relocation of existing or closed down activities from elsewhere in the EU to the aided establishment”
I understand this has been doing the rounds on social media and no doubt there’s 17.4 million others who believe the same Russian propaganda as you.
