Tories don’t care about over 500,000 jobs at risk Reform will impose substantial tariffs and tight quotas on Chinese cars. They are a heavily subsidized, clear danger to UK automotive industry We need patriotic trade over and above free and fair trade Reform will protect British manufacturing2h
@TheRealJamieKayBritain is considering tariffs on Chinese electric cars because of concerns over state subsidies. There’s a difficult balance here. Cheap EVs help consumers switch. Cheap subsidised imports can also destroy domestic manufacturing. You can’t rebuild British industry if price is the only consideration.2h
