A former ambbadador to Japan said it was "fanciful" to think that Honda's decision to close its Swindon plant had nothing to do with Brexit.
Addressing the Guardian, Sir David Warren said, "The idea that the uncertainty badociated with Brexit has no relevance is fanciful. How is Honda supposed to calculate the costs and benefits of staying in the UK in the overall global context in the face of such lack of clarity on future terms of trade?
Sir David, the United Kingdom's ambbadador to Japan from 2008 to 2012, said that Brexit supporters who had seized Honda's statement that his decision was not attributable to Brexit were missing.
He said the Japanese government would be "privately aware of the danger of the extremely important relationship between trade and investment between the UK and Japan – as well as other foreign direct investment – being held hostage by a internal debate within the conservative party that's hard to solve.
