JAGUAR Land Rover’s boss has warned Theresa May he may have to lay off tens of thousands of workers under a hard Brexit.
Dr Ralf Speth told a Birmingham motor summit that Brexit could lead to “the best of times” if done right.

But he called a cliff-edge break that would see sudden customs barriers and tariffs “horrifying”.
Addressing a motor summit in Birmingham directly ahead of the prime minister, Dr Speth said: “If we make the right decisions this could be the best of times. If we make the wrong ones, they could be the worst of times.
“We are absolutely firmly committed to the UK, it’s our home.

Mrs May leaped on the warning to insist it was a boost for her Chequers plan.

See what others are saying about Soros and who he is in the comments section below. FOX News reports the 86-year-old financier and manager of a global network of nonprofits will be forced by BSG Resources’ lawsuit to answer for manipulating the politics and economics of Guinea for his own benefit Despite Soros’ often contentious dealings and reputation as a pompous busybody, the filing in New York Federal Court has thus far largely escaped the spotlight.
