Buy British whilst you can…

If you dig a little Great Wall Motors don’t look that great.
And if all the electric production moves to China, What’s left for Cowley after 2030?
Let’s hope we get synthetic fuels in the quantity we need….

Have I understood this article correctly: Electric Mini production to move to China. All Minis to be electric by 2030. Therefore all production to be in China from 2030? So despite any investment in Oxford this must mean the plant is closing in 2030 unless it is going to be producing something else for use in the supply chain?
