Good news on #electricvehicles as #BMW decide to continue the production of the Electric Mini in Oxford, suggesting all is not lost for the #electriccar sector in the UK's automative #manufacturing despite fears around market access to the EU.
I'm sure #JeremyHunt will claim this all his or #KemiBadenoch's doing, while 'forgetting' that the problems around this decision were related to #Brexit.
Still, good news especially for the #workers whose jobs now seem secure!

So after its bad start to the year, it looks like the #CBI has been seeking a 'white knight' to help it out of its self-created mess... and it looks like #MakeUK could be the lily candidate.
If the CBI & MakeUK do merge, there may be an interesting opportunity to shift the focus of business lobbying of Governments with a more coherent voice for #Manufacturing (too often drowned out by the special interest of #financialservices)...
But its early days yet & they could easily blow it anyway

Q. which sectors nominal #wages are rising fastest?
so in the three months to June this is what (annualised) rises looked like:
#Retail - 7.7%
#Hospitality - 6.5%
#Manufacturing - - 8.2%
#construction - 5.8%
#health sector - 6.8% and
#financialservices - 9.4%
none of these (even the financial services) are enough to make up for the fall(s) in real wages over the last decade!
#inflation is coming from somewhere else.... might it be the 'maintenance' of #profits do you think?

No doubt some #brexiters will delight at the the #German economy's problems.
But, we shouldn't forget while Germany's once in a generation political economic shock was the integration of the East (which continues to pattern its economy), the UK's was an act of willful obstruction of access to its key market.
Germany has many issues to deal with, not least the impact of an #energycrisis on #manufacturing, but if I had to bet on which would recover more easily, I wouldn't put money on the UK!

#Memory_Lane | #BIG_PHARMA ⚕️ 😷 💉 💊 | J&J #Agrees To #Pay $230M In #New_York_Opioid_Settlement | NEW YORK (AP) — #Johnson & #Johnson has agreed to pay $230 million to New York state to #settle_claims that the #pharmaceutical_giant helped fuel the #opioid_crisis, Attorney General Letitia James said on Saturday
The #drugmaker also agreed to permanently #end the #manufacturing and #distribution of opioids #across New York and the #rest of the #nation, James said in a statement announcing the settlement.
The company "helped #fuel this #fire, but today they're committing to leaving the opioid business — not only in New York, but across the entire country," she said.
The deal involving a lawsuit brought by James in 2019 removes Johnson & Johnson from a trial that is slated to begin next week on Long Island — part of a slew of litigation over an epidemic linked to nearly 500,000 deaths over the last two decades.
