UK Politics
General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

It's not huge, I don't mean to suggest that. You're totally right.
I suppose my point is that for the industries of the future he may become a key player. These industries are relatively small now but you'd imagine they would grow over the next ten years.
Maybe I'm misremembering but wasn't there a huge giga / mega factory that Tesla was involved within the UK for battery storage?
I do hope he has little to nothing to do with the UK over the next decade. But something tells me this turd isn't going away 😕.
Giga factory did not happen in the UK.
If I was a sceptic, I'd say the UK was one of a few nations he proposed to try and gain some economic influence.
But few here generally believed he would choose a place with expensive labour like the US or UK to host such a thing. Honestly, factory manufacturing is not huge in the UK for good reason economically.
We do have a good few smaller corps building batteries. But honestly, it's mainly importing cells from China and putting things together. But nothing huge exists.
