JAGUAR Land Rover’s boss has warned Theresa May he may have to lay off tens of thousands of workers under a hard Brexit.

But he called a cliff-edge break that would see sudden customs barriers and tariffs “horrifying”.
Addressing a motor summit in Birmingham directly ahead of the prime minister, Dr Speth said: “If we make the right decisions this could be the best of times. If we make the wrong ones, they could be the worst of times.

Mrs May leaped on the warning to insist it was a boost for her Chequers plan.
