«Breaking News» BMW warns it would consider HALTING production of Mini in Britain if there was a no-deal Brexit

BMW has warned it may have to 'consider' halting production of the Mini in the UK if there is a no-deal Brexit, putting thousands of jobs at risk.

Peter Schwarzenbauer, who sits on the board of BMW said it could not afford the added costs to production of the classic British marque if export tariffs were introduced.

He told Sky News: 'If this was to come, which is the worst-case scenario … we would need to consider what it actually means for us in the long run. For Mini this is really a danger no doubt about it.

Asked if it could affect production at the Mini plant in Cowley, Oxford, he added: 'We at least have to consider it you know, because we cannot absorb 10 per cent costs.'

BMW chief Peter Schwarzenbauer warned that no-deal Brexit could affect Mini production in the UK because of the adding export costs it could create, threatening thousands of jobs

He added that the company would also not be very happy with a two or three month delay to Britain's departure from the European Union because the industry has been preparing for a March 29 exit. 

The Cowley plant has been making cars in on form or another for around 100 years.

The warning from BMW comes less than two years after it announced production in the UK of the electric Mini would start this year at the Oxford plant.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
