Vince was on Sophy Ridge on Sky this morning. First on the agenda was Nissan’s reported decision to pull X-Trail production from Sunderland:

'It's very worrying for the North East, the workers and their families' – Lib Dem leader @vincecable says Brexit is a major contributing factor as to why major car manufacturers are cancelling future work in Britain.#Ridge

He then talked about what a blow this would be to the North East, bearing in mind that Margaret Thatcher had persuaded Nissan to come here to be at the gateway to the single market.

'If [Nissan] pull it, that is a massive psychological as well as an economical blow for the North East' – Lib Dem leader @vincecable says Nissan are symbolically important to the UK's economy. #Ridge

The Fail on Sunday is full of talk of an election on 6th June. Vince said that we would do well in an election and reminded Ridge of the poll that would see us overtake Labour and end up in the mid 20s if Labour continued on its present Brexit-enabling course.
