"the brexit vote has led to even the better employers being reluctant to invest in the UK"
As stevie blunder would say: Can you offer any proof.
With a level playing field companies invest where they get the most bang for the buck. How many factories exploited government grants to set up and as soon as it became advantageous they scuttled away to SE Asia or Eastern Europe where greater profits could be generated. Kimberley Clark and Dyson to name but two.
    The starting statement creates a nice soundbite but is purely conjecture, to be pounced on by remoaners.
