British workers are cheaper and easier to get rid of compared to those on other European nations.

[DoctorStrangelove]

Quite. Ask the Ryton workers what happened when the cheese eating surrender monkeys got their hands on that factory.

Vauxhall says plan to build new car at Ellesmere Port plant abandoned over 2030 combustion engine ban

Vauxhall will stop producing the Astra at Ellesmere Port in Cheshire and close the plant completely in April next year unless the Government can incentivise it to build a new model at the site.

A briefing on manufacturing volumes issued by Vauxhall’s parent company to suppliers shows the production of the current model of the Astra is expected to end in a year.

The 80-page document circulated in the past fortnight by Vauxhall owner PSA Group – which merged with Fiat Chrysler in January to become Stellantis – includes a “first forecast for European main events”. This includes an “end of life” summary for the current model of the Astra.

Ellesmere Port employs almost 1,000 people building estate versions of the Astra and supports 6,000 supply chain jobs.”
