Responding to the announcement that Tesla will be investing in a
new factory in Germany and not the UK due to Brexit uncertainty,
Liberal Democrat Shadow Brexit Secretary said:
"On Boris Johnson's first day in Downing Street, was pictured wearing a T-
shirt picturing a company founded by Elon Musk. Now the very
entrepreneur Cummings idolises has chosen not to invest in the UK
because of the extreme Brexit being pursued by this
government.
"Meanwhile, is giving a speech at an
electric car factory the very same day that we find out this
industry is being damaged by his Brexit plans.
"You really couldn't make it up. This completely demolishes the
Johnson and Cummings Brexit fantasy and shows their deluded plans
are already costing the country vital investment and making us
all poorer.
"The best way to stop this Brexit nightmare, kick Johnson and
Cummings out of Number 10 and build a brighter future is to vote
Liberal Democrat on December 12."
