Honda have confirmed that their Swindon plant will close in 2 years.
The usual measure is 1 job in the factory = 4 in supply chain so that's 14,000 jobs going too.
Then there's the ripple of the jobs that are supported by the 17,500 jobs: all the restaurants, cafes, pubs, cinema's etc.
Still it's good to know that it was 'global trends' and not Brexit (that Honda repeatedly warned about) that is responsible. No sirree!
