Sir Jim Ratcliffe scolds Tories over handling of economy and immigration after Brexit
Sir Jim Ratcliffe told Sky News that Britain is ready for a change of government, and scolded the Conservatives over their handling of the economy and immigration after Brexit.
While insisting his petrochemicals conglomerate INEOS is apolitical, Sir Jim backed Brexit and spent last weekend with Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer at Manchester United - the football club he now runs as minority owner.

This guy promoted Brexit and then set up a car plant in France rather than Wales. His hesitation when asked about Brexit says it all. He is also based in Monaco not the UK. He reminds me of Rocco Forte who promoted Brexit than said things were going so bad that he was going to Italy (an EU country).

because Wales isn't a good place to set up a factory. 20mph speed limits and an administration that is anti-car. The ex-Mercedes plant in France is much better suited, with a French government that wants car manufacturing. He made the only decision he could. Blame the administration in Wales, not Jim.

The Ultra wealthy always complain about taxes and then point to some think tank they fund which has proof that there right
Another Brexit funder who is now in panic that being a main force for Brexit and the failure of Brexit is now frightened it may undermine his business ventures. Remember he is the man that was going to put British car building on the map after Brexit by buying the old Ford plant at Bridgend and producing his new Grenadier 4x4, but as we know now he never had any intention of building the car in post Brexit Britain and we know now that the Bridgend negotiation was just a feint because his intention was to buy a Mercedes Benz plant in the east of France, which he did because he needed to stay in the single market making use of all the EU free trade deals throughout the world, and where the main electric car battery investment was going to be..... And that was not going to be in the UK. And he up stakes and moved to Monaco. Both he and Dyson with very small donations to the Brexit parties managed to shaft the car and vacuum business in the UK so less competition after they embraced the free trade world afforded to the EU. And the biggest kicking the British people have coming is a more likely trade deal between the EU and America before America has any wholesome deal with the UK, and of course the post Brexit trade deal with America was the jewel in the crown for leaving the EU.
Voted for Brexit. He’s only saying this because Starmer has agreed to use taxpayer money to build a new stadium for Manchester United instead of Ratcliffe using his own dirty billions.
this was one of the pro brexit axxholes that then moved to monaco and moved his manufacturing to france, what a larf.
Well I have no doubt that Starmer will be a 'good' prime minister by YOUR standards!

Starmer needs to admit that the Brexit emperor is naked, and that the country is now in a nose dive.
Wow, didn’t know he wasn’t worth listening to whatsoever
Why does a man who seems to know a bit about the political situation in the country ruins everything he'd said at the beginning of the interview with such s*** comments such as: 'This country was designed to have 55 million people and now we have 70 million putting pressure on public services...' Who designed the country to be begin with? Does he have the project? Is he really living in the real world?This has got to be pure stupidity or an irresponsible manipulative agenda.

Remember that Sunak scrapped one of the most potentially productivity enhancing schemes for the north of England HS2. Tories called it a "courageous decision". There is absolutely nothing in the pipeline as far as infrastructure is concerned to enhance British productivity levels. Just a Chancellor lecturing workers on the need for "wage restraint" and attempting to gaslight people that their lives are getting better.
The country was designed.... How the hell does that work...? 🤔🤔 [ 2:59 ]
What a hypocrite person. He is a person who wanted to build the next Land Rover in Wales and then builds it in France. Didn't he back? Brexit what a hypocrite he is!
In my opinion, Labour is not the answer I'm afraid.. It will just make a bad situation even worse..

Its always been the longest of shots that this man can bring United back to what they should be again, especially after all the damage of the last decade, to my support anyway. The club will fall apart in this sense if this man keeps appearing on Sly News. Disgraceful! Head political reporters who should know trauma and disgraceful much better than they apear to do, but hey, they are all in this together. Leeds actively demonstrates that! What a nice man. Go puke somewhere now.
Brexit disaster
Im not a tax dodging billionaire. However here's my pennies worth. Starmer will be nothing more of a continuation of decline in support of privilege and greed. His ineptitude will further embolden the far right and increase division while not getting close to identifying and resolving fundamental problems in the UK economy and wider society.

It is Labour who encouraged and created the immigration we have now Jim.. But a lot of what he says was the truth and to the point apart from the fact that Labour can do a better Job... I feel Labour are very pro Immigration because many of their voters are original immigrants . So the country needs an independent trustworthy body to calculate exactly how ( and WHO ) many Migrants have come in with Political party yearly !
