"What a load of codswallop, Ken" Sure: In 1980: 25% of jobs were in manufacturing by 2010 it was 8.2%. Both Tory and Labour governments decimated manufacturing beginning with Thatcher who placed her chips on the service sector and finance. It might have picked up a few points since then, but putting barriers to trade up with your biggest market via Brexit will likely see those lost again. But never mind, as I said we do a great line in bombs and armaments. Raytheon near me are doing fine: A great UK/ US manufacturing success story.
