Financial services doesn't help, it's such a large part of our economy that it tends to suppress other sectors. It's our form of Dutch disease.

Brexit adds to the pressure, we are likely to lose most of our car production over the next decade.

I think even without Brexit we were likely to lose most of our car production over the next decade, but with Brexit I can't see manufacturers retooling plants to build new models in the UK

Electrification does make cars simpler so perhaps there's still some scope for someone
