Unfortunately it's all on the opposition benches, or so far down the pecking order in the Tories that it isn't going to happen.
Let's face it. If we look at the cabinet and PM, we haven't even got as far as just "thinking" yet.
Oh no!! Brexit not going quite as well as hoped

Not looking long term very good for the Oxford Mini. The electric Mini is moving production to China.

"On her trip to the UK, Wurst not only visited MINI Oxford to reassure workers that the UK was still the heart of MINI production,"
Also in the article it is clear that they are ceasing production in the Netherlands and directly moving that production to the UK, I would say that is a bit of a win for the Oxford plant over the EU based plant, wouldn't you?

There was something in the news this morning about some changes going forward. Not heard anything since.
Anyone else?

It is a bit of a win on the retention of a shrinking segment of the motor industry, causing the closure of the Netherlands plant, and better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick. In time the ICE Mini will be discontinued and become an all electric vehicle, so this is just a relatively short lived reprieve.
But beggars can't be choosers.

Also, failure of Festival of Brexit (rebranded as Unboxed) blamed partly on Brexit. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2022/oct/15/festival-of-brexit-rise-costs-worker-supply

Behind a paywall, but the headline is enough for me.

Curiously, the whole article came up for me. There's just an irritating free trial banner at the bottom.

Just to say that if you hadn't realised that the state the UK is in right now, the likelihood that things are going to get so much worse and the embarrassment that we have for government currently, isn't directly linked to convincing people to vote to leave the EU, you really haven't been paying attention.
Still, so long as a few libtards are upset.

Yep, and there are still people willing to listen to this man, has he been right about anything?

same here but I had an irritating side banner. Quite an article from the Torygraph.
