Halewood

Another Liverpool team.

Halewood Apollo doing reasonably well, in fairness to them.

I think they, yeah, they won by five goals to two-

Yeah, there are exceptions to the, uh-

Yeah.

Um, it was a, a, um, uh, an attendance that was dwarfed, uh, by the one at, um, AFC Knowsley in the Lord Derby, uh, Arena on Tuesday night.

AFC Knowsley beaten 5-2 by Halewood Apollo in what was a little bit of a local derby there.

Uh, Charlie Glennon and Will McCarthy both decided to grab themselves, uh, a double.

And it's aimed, aimed at sto-stopping dumping of, of goods, mainly automotive goods, from China.

If we are not in that, if we have no influence on that, we are outside that, then basically bye-bye Nissan at Sunderland, bye-bye Toyota at Derbyshire, bye-bye, uh, Mini at Oxford, bye-bye Jaguar Land Rover at Halewood, bye-- and, and we've already...

Car production is already half thanks to Brexit.

We've lost Honda at Swindon, we've lost, um, Vauxhall at Luton, and we have lost, um, what's the other one?

The MD, Rawdon Glover, says that the required volume is in the tens of thousands, not hundreds of thousands.

Production starts here in the UK, in Solihull, in the Midlands, with electric drive units and battery packs made in Wolverhampton and body panels stamped in Halewood.

Jaguar's gamble is also a sizable bet on keeping high value EV production inside Great Britain.

However, Aston Martin, they pushed back their EV plans to the early twenty thirties.

The UK Treasury said it recognized the uncertainty facing workers and was supporting the automotive sector through grants, lower energy costs, and investment in electric vehicle production.

JLR has a, a global headquarters in Coventry and plants in Solihull, Wolverhampton, and Halewood.

Signatories in a letter said the reden- redundancies were the first visible crack in the UK automotive supply chain, supporting about 183,000 manufacturing jobs.

So I think it's showing some of the other issues associated with producing cars in the UK when the suppliers are recognizing that there are, there's a, a decline or they're in the wrong market.
