New GSPR rules coming in on 13 December affect non-EU firms exporting to the EU, and to Northern Ireland.

A lot of firms will stop supplying the EU and NI markets.

(GB firms selling to NI are also affected.)

Exactly what some insiders claimed wasn't happening.

There's always a huge danger in using a black box system to process any form of claim unless those commissioning the system are ethically beyond reproach, and willing and able to do intensive testing on it.

● Jaguar Land Rover adds £10bn annually to the UK economy

● Employs 11,000 people in the UK

● Creates thousands more jobs in supply chain reliant on it

● And Grandad Nigel wants them to go bust because he doesn't like the ads.

Why do YOU think he doesn't like them?
The great patriot doesn’t like the new Jaguar advert, so he hopes they go bust. What a horrid man.

Sir Tom wrote a book which he said was to raise funds for the NHS.

He died, his daughter made herself head of his charity, and gave the entire £1.47m raised to herself.

We really should be talking about prison.
