Airbus will leave the UK if there is no deal.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-445709311. They are a European firm so how many of those 14,000 are EU- non UK citizens? quite a few is my guess.
2. they only make wings here, could easily have happened if they discontinued plane models production.
3. I'm sure Boeing and BAE systems are happy/don't care.
What's really screwing the UK over is the EU insistence that we cant sign or announce trade deals with the rest of the world until we officially leave the EU...and that's because...
Announcing and signing trade deals would have the effect of stabilising the economy and make for a smoother transition, which is just what the EU politicians don't want.
It's pure madness...
I'm still waiting for some solid pro-Brexit news. Haven't found any yet.

How bout this one. Post Brexit I will live in a functioning democracy again, where I, a taxpayer, will have the right to determine who spends my taxes and how those taxes are spent, instead of having MY money being sent across the channel to faceless, unaccountable bureaucrats I never voted for.
Heard it all before, many companies threaten to leave it we voted out. Did it happen? No. Look, everybody wants to get the best deal. They will always make threats and make it it will affect them - in the hope they are considered favourable in any Brexit deal. If BBC told truth, they would lose readers/viewers, as most of the time the news does not matter as much as they make it out to be.. Games!
These massive companies are the reason British working class voted leave as most take full advantage of mass EU workforce and pay crap wages ,perhaps Airbus is one of the rare well paid jobs,trouble with most of these remain gang they don't care if British citizens gets UK job (your son daughter ) or someone from 20000 miles away in euro zone.

Simple, Jobs or Brexit?
I'll take Brexit. I'd rather eat worms and snails for a living than be a rich slave to the Germans.
'Could.' Airbus 'could' stay in the event of a 'no deal' as well too...
Especially depending on the UK government's policies in the wake of such an event. But, the BBC is now a clickbait site, so it posts alarmist headlines to generate clicks.
Project fear is alive and well. Just as the EU brexit summit is about to take place, Airbus throws a grenade into the mix. No doubt at the behest if its EU masters. Another attempt to undermine the UK as we prepare to regain our independence. Have these people no shame. The views of the 17.4 million people who voted to leave are more important than the biased rhetoric these EU funded companies.
Let the blackmailers leave.
If Barnier forces a hard Brexit HMG should nationalise the strategically important parts of Airbus in the UK like the Wings and the Satellite factories and do business with Boeing, Bombardier, Brazil, China and Russia’s civil aircraft and space companies. The whole of Airbus would go bust within a month without the wings factory, serves the EU right if they want to play dirty.
Brexit=Freedom
