Jaguar Land Rover has today announced the loss of 500 jobs.
Last month, I promised workers at Jaguar Land Rover that I would protect their jobs.
I kept that promise.

- Scores of celebrities and the rich have arrived in Sicily for a Google conference. They came in 114 private jets and a flotilla of super yachts. The conference is on global warming.
- Seriously good news in a bad news day.BBC newsreader George Alagiah reveals he has beaten coronavirus despite having terminal bowel cancer 💛 thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/1…
- You know, I’m starting to get the feeling that @BorisJohnson might just be trying to dodge the @afneil interview he promised to do...
- The best of British. Our country needs more like him, especially now. There’s something in my eye. A true inspiration.What an absolutely top bloke. Solid in so many ways. A hero? Yup.
- I suspect many folks, when they see this, will be adding Britannia Hotels to the list of businesses they will not be frequenting when this crisis is over.Aviemore Coylumbridge Hotel sent this letter to staff today. Not just fired but chucked out of their accommodation with no notice and no redundancy pay! @BritanniaLtd Britannia Hotels should be ashamed of themselves. Certainly no "room at the inn" here, disgusting.
- Normal party politics is suspended in Britain tonight. All people of good will hope for the Prime Minister’s speed recovery. He is in good NHS hands.
- Well, Corbyn interview got 3.2m viewers. So not that "tired". The Tories posted it on Facebook. So not "tired" at all. "Tired" never raised when trying to fix time and date. This "source" is a "pyramid of piffle" PS to source: monologue got 4m+ views. So some voter interest.Johnson confirms he is rejecting Neil interview Senior Con source: “The public are fed up with interviews that are all about the interviewer and endless interruptions. The format is tired and broken and needs to change if it is to start engaging and informing the public again.”
- Weakest reply so far from Mr Cummings: I was worried my eyesight had been hampered by Covid and not good enough to drive back to London. So I put the wife and kid in the car for a 30-mile test drive to Barnard Castle.
- Boris Johnson four days ago: “Let's be in no doubt about it, the exam results that we've got today are robust, they're good, they're dependable for employers.” Not a single claim in that sentence was true, was it Prime Minister?
- ANDREW NEIL: In 55 years of covering politics, I’ve never accused ANY government of congenitally telling untruths. But Starmer has taken lying, gaslighting and deceit to a new level
- Sad story from Germany: finance minister of the German state of Hesse, Thomas Schäfer, committed suicide because he had become “deeply worried” over how to cope with the economic fallout. We should not forget or lightly dismiss the huge strain on those currently governing us.
- After four years of lecturing Britain that it could never countenance anything that might lead to a hard border in Ireland, the European Union, in a desperate response to its own vaccine incompetence, introduces a hard border. Then thinks better of it.
- If Britannia had not ruled the waves there would never have been a Royal Navy strong enough to abolish the slave trade, intercepting 1,600 ships and freeing 150,000 Africans while sustaining major casualties. Guess it’s too late to delete your tweet ...
