Preempting the inevitable, it's important to note that this would likely have taken place with or without Brexit:
'Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) says it plans to cut about 4,500 jobs globally as part of a £2.5bn plan to reverse losses.
The British company, which employs 44,000 in the UK and cut 1,000 temporary workers at its plant in Solihull last year, has been hit by poor sales in China and a drop in demand for diesel cars.
It posted a £90m loss in October.
JLR said on Thursday that the next stage of its "transformation programme" would begin with a voluntary redundancy programme in the UK.'
