Meanwhile at Nissan ....

Co-conspirators will no doubt remember the warnings delivered by the Remain campaign in 2016, that Brexit would threaten the Nissan Sunderland plant. As far back as 2013, before he became a fugitive from justice, Nissan chief executive Carlos Ghosn was warning the UK over a possible EU exit. After the referendum in August 2016, Nissan warned their future in the UK hinged on Brexit talks. Unequivocal…

It wasn’t just Nissan: Remainer commentators continued using Nissan as a poster boy for the threat of Brexit throughout the negotiations. In February 2019 The Independent’s Sean O’Grady opined “Nissan’s U-turn is the beginning of the end for Britain’s revived car industry”, citing another Independent article suggesting the Japanese firm “may cancel intention to build vehicle in UK less than two months before Britain leaves EU”. Alastair Campbell was equally strong-headed:

Who better to perform a screeching u-turn on Brexit than a car manufacturer…

Some doom and gloom Remainer posts issued on Twitter after the referendum result being thrown back in their faces too today - good for a laugh.
Elon Musk must be regretting his decision to invest in Germany for his car battery production too as Nissan goes from strength to strength.

Rumour has it he is looking towards the UK for a manufacturing plant.
