Brexit billionaire chooses BMW engine for Land Rover project

The UK’s richest man, expat Brexit supporter Jim Ratcliffe, has enlisted Germany’s BMW to supply engines for a “British” successor to the Land Rover Defender, after handing the vehicle design contract to another German firm last year.

Meh. By the time he has his BMW engined car ready to roll new combustion engined cars will be a niche market beside electrics.

I like brexit. But I'll actually built in Britain if you give me tax breaks. And oh I like to stay abroad in a tax haven.. noice

I’m no economist but when billionaires invest off the back of a heavy government subsidy (a tax break as well, no doubt), they are creating jobs. Essentially the government (we, the public) are paying for people to be employed and them to get richer. Something’s wrong somewhere🤔

I wouldn't, their engines are crap. Ask the 280 thousand who's cars were recalled

Yes, of course. His name says it all: RAT cliffe.

Why would -any- government believe anything Ratty says? He wants his subsidy/payoff to bring something someday somewhere - he should build his factory thingy in Crimea, or possibly Kazakhstan - great partners to be found there! INEOS … aspire to oligarchy

Why don’t you just openly position yourselves as an anti free market, communist news paper? Why must you try and demonise the rich and position every story as a result of brexit.

Parallel tracks (at least as far as he is concerned, I guess)

And?

Is this really political or just the fact BMW make really good and strong engines?

Opinion: Brexit has finally broken the British political systemWith both main parties riven with division and the rise of the threat of violence, disillusionment is spreading fast Order!!! If only there was some Putin wins. Next: U.S.A. Should be no problem with the help of potus. Finally? First Pass The Post, Representative, Parliamentary democracy? Ask most people what democracy is and they will not describe constituencies or representatives (they'll describe delegates). The British Establishment was terrified of democracy until the definition changed.

Brexit and the week that all but broke British politicsTheresa May’s effort to agree a Brexit deal began with deadlock and ended with the collapse of discipline in her own party Still flabbergasted that anyone who voted to Remain actually understands that they voted against democracy. May’s Deal, her handling of it, the suggestion of a second referendum are all repeat examples of how the EU has overturned democratic decisions in the past. LeaveNow
