So JLR look well placed at the moment to clean up at the luxury end of the market. Ford, Toyota, Nissan could take the lower end if they stick around, but that all hinges on whether their factories are worthwhile staying in the UK post-brexit when they lose the benefit of supplying all of the EU tariff free, if they decided to upsticks to somewhere on the mainland then that could see them in the same position as the EU manufacturers.

I think you've just answered your own question. Do Ford, Toyota, Nissan and JLR have much to lose by keeping their factories in the UK when their market share in the rest of Europe probably isn't that big anyway?

Some of the biggest tier 1 manufacturers (much bigger than the car brands themselves) like Johnson Controls and Lear (not the jet people) are based here in the midlands and whilst they have satellite places in Eastern it would be one massive upheaval to move their entire plants into Europe.

Something else, Ford moved their commercial vehicle production to Poland about 5 years ago, that could easily move back if tariffs are too high.

Europe's most senior official has criticised the UK's offer to EU nationals after Brexit, claiming it could "worsen the situation" for them.
European Council President Donald Tusk said the proposal was "below our expectations" and needed more detail.
He said the EU wanted to secure the "full rights" of all its citizens and British expats on the continent.
EU nationals living in the UK for five years would get "settled status", with access to benefits, under UK plans.
Many Britons living in the EU are also worried about what it will mean for a reciprocal deal, which both the UK and the EU say they want.

In summary, the EU feedback is "must try harder".

Someone should do something about al these furriners entering a country, hiking up house prices, contributing nothing to the economy, and stealing the bribes that the indigenous population are entitled to. Nothing but a drain on resources and a burden to the society.
 
Theresa May has appointed Rangers' Pedro Caixinha as Chief Brexit negotiator after leaving Europe in under a week...
 
Except that it took 5 years to negotiate. We've got 12 months. And we're a 5th the size of the EU as a whole. So when we get around to negotiating a deal with Japan (and where do they fit in the pecking order of the other 200-ish countries in the world) we'll likely get a shitter deal.

And then its one down, 199-ish to go.

Greenpeace has characterised the deal as “a huge transfer of power from people to big business.”
 
What the fuck has that got to do with what I wrote?

So there you go, you can do a free trade deal, without free movement of people. Exactly what the UK should be looking for.

How do you know there is no free movement of people. The article is clear that the details of the deal aren't known.

This is from the agreement.

Temporary movement of company personnel – the agreement includes the most advanced provisions on movement of people for business purposes (otherwise known as "mode 4") that the EU has negotiated so far. They cover all traditional categories such as intra-corporate transferees, business visitors for investment purposes, contractual service suppliers, and independent professionals, as well as newer categories such as short-term business visitors and investors. The EU and Japan have also agreed to allow spouses and children to accompany those who are either service suppliers or who work for a service supplier (covered by "mode 4" provisions). This will, in turn, support investment in both directions.


That is not free movement of people. Just goes to show, you can do trade deals without losing sovereignty.
 
As has been explained about a billion times, you would need to negotiate something pretty special. And starting with the opposition having all the cards kills it stone fucking dead.
