Airbus Warns It Might Leave the Country Ahead of Brexit (goes to Airways Magazine).

Airbus manufactures its wings for aircraft in the United Kingdom. It notes if the Conservative Party can’t get its act together on coming to some agreement with the EU over Brexit, it stands to lose tens of billions of Euros if it has to pay tariffs to ship those parts in from the UK.

Conservatives at Westminster are like conservatives everywhere: They are looking for the quick fix to maintain their grip on power. They would rather see Airbus go and billions of pounds sterling in trade evaporate (along with employment) than cave in to the obvious solution over the referendum for Brexit: Abandon it.

Even though it has been shown now the Brexit vote was rodent couplated the same way our election was, conservatives will not relinquish their grip on power. Theresa May has staked her reputation on this, and she’ll take the whole economy with her if she has to.

Womp womp.
