Cites Indian software developers, JLR in bid to convince industry of Brexit deal
British Prime Minister Theresa May continued to defy her critics as she reached out to businesses, with an attempt to focus on her vision for the post-Brexit immigration regime. EU nationals, regardless of skill level, could no longer “jump the queue ahead of… software developers from Delhi”, she said. The end to free movement is an aspect of the withdrawal deal that Ms. May has sought to focus on. The agreement she reached with EU leaders has sparked several ministerial resignations and led to members of her party submitting letters of no-confidence in her.‘A deal for all’ Pointing to automakers such as Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), Nissan and others that relied on “just in time supply chains” and supported tens of thousands of jobs directly and indirectly in the country, she said the proposed deal would “work for all of them and sustain the livelihoods they provide to working people across the country”. The auto industry has been cautious in its response to the withdrawal agreement, saying it was a positive step to avert the “devastating consequences” of a no-deal Brexit. “For the automotive industry, Brexit is about damage limitation,” said the industry body SMMT. “Truly frictionless trade is the only way to ensure the industry’s future success and this should be the objective of all parties as we move into negotiating the permanent U.K.-EU relationship.”
