BAD MOVE ON BREXIT COULD THREATEN JOBS: JAGUAR CEO

The wrong Brexit deal could cost tens of thousands of British car jobs and risks production at Britain’s biggest carmaker, Jaguar Land Rover, its boss warned, adding he had no idea if his plants could function after the country quits the European Union. Ralf Speth also said the company would not be able to build cars if post-Brexit customs checks meant that the motorway to and from the southern English port of Dover, which is used to transport components, becomes a “car park” as a result of snarl-ups. Speth was speaking on Tuesday at a conference shortly before Prime Minister Theresa May, who is battling to have her socalled Chequers Brexit plan accepted by many in her Conservative Party as well as the EU itself before Britain’s exit on March 29.
