The ex Welsh First Minister was interviewed last night. He was questioning about some sort of deal by France to entice Ineos, calling him out for hypocrisy for being a strong Brexiteer yet now going to France to set up, asking about the longer term costs of a purpose built factory for him versus the need to adapt the French factory. Covid has been stated as a major influence on the decision apparently! Really?
I also wonder about the public money spent already being recouped. The Ebbw Vale F1 circuit fiasco springs to mind. About £9million ploughed in to a very suspect project with major questions about the people involved.
Groundworks at the proposed site in Bridgend are already underway. Who is funding that ?
Where are the Brexiteers now? Is this a case of an inability to do deals outside the EU without the EU rules applying?
There’s also TVR which is supposedly to built in Ebbw Vale. I wonder what will happen with that project Sospan?
As to factories the current Ford engine plant will be vacant at the end of this year. Why build a new unit when there will be one available soon ?
