The Sony move involves no job losses in the UK.
Nor does the Dyson move.
Nor does the P&O move.
If this was not being used by remainers
to push project fear it would not be reported. When Fiat moved it's HQ
to London, it was not reported, and that was because it didn't matter because the move was economically immaterial.
Since the referendum, Bloomberg, Apple and Google have expanded their offices here and genuinely created thousands of additional high paid jobs.
UK receiving more foreign investment than Germany and France combined

A new 'Deloitte Report' on investment has revealed the UK
to truly be a world leader, with that trend having continued since the 2016 Brexit vote. The sky didn’t fall in, the country continued
to thrive despite the various economic scare stories put about by Remainer politicians and so-called ‘economic experts’.
Between January 2015 – January 2018 there were 3,900 recorded Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) projects recorded in the UK, creating more than 260,000 jobs. In terms of investment that amounted
to more than $140 billion, more than France and Germany combined. Not bad right?
Indeed the report finds that over the last decade, the UK is second only
to America when it comes
to inward investment projects and London continues
to be the top city globally for foreign direct investment in terms of the number of projects.
The CEO of TheCityUK, Miles Celic, said: “Historically, the UK has used periods of economic and political difficulty
to reinvent itself. Brexit has also brought forward issues that would have
to be addressed anyway within the foreseeable future. So, with the right approach, Brexit could provide the opportunity
to recast.”
International Trade Secretary Liam Fox welcomed the report, saying: “The figures from Deloitte and UNCTAD are clear – investors trust in the fundamental strength of the UK’s economy because of our workforce, innovation, transparent regulatory system and efficient tax regime. We are a nation on the rise and, with my international economic department already working on our independent trade policy after Brexit, we will be able
to place the UK firmly at the heart of the world’s fastest-growing regions.”
In stark contrast
to Remoaner doom and gloom, Deloitte’s Chief Economist, Ian Stewart, said: “Brexit is, of course, the focus for much attention for prospective investors in the UK, but it is too soon
to tell what impact Brexit will have on inward investment levels.
“If UK business and government invest in safeguarding the key competitive differentiations that have propelled the UK
to its current position of strength
to date, the UK will continue
to be an attractive destination for global businesses and talent.”
It is time for the UK
to seize the huge opportunities that lie ahead as a globally-focused, independent, self-governing nation.
