Nissan's UK factory in Sunderland will stay open as the Japanese carmaker carries out a global restructuring amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The carmaker also announced it will close its factory in Barcelona with the loss of about 2,800 jobs, prompting protests at the Spanish plant.

FUNNY, because i thought they were closing because of Brexit according the Labour Mp's??????????????
What's also funny, is that not one of the Labour MP's in the NE has said anything about it staying open
There was absolutely no way they'd have closed the factory, I think most people saw right through it all, especially considering the amount of leave voters in the area.
I wouldn't be surprised if we saw quite a bit more investment in the plant once we're done with leaving the EU.
I do hope Boris keeps to his word and doesn't extend the transition period like the EU want, the fact that they are so adamant to extend it gives the impression they're desperate
