Brexiteers delight as Heinz move ketchup back to UK – creating 50 jobs

So that's £110 billion out and £140 million in - a net loss of £109.86 billion!

Daily Mail politics correspondent Andrew Pierce was doing cartwheels today after stumbling upon a rare Brexit dividend.

News that Kraft Heinz is to move production of tomato ketchup from Holland to Wigan had him celebrating, with an eye-watering 50 jobs set to be created.

After the UK formally split with the European Union in January finding firms willing to move to the UK because it has restricted access to its biggest trading partner has been like searching for a needle in a haystack, so news that Tommy K is headed back to Blighty will come as light relief for Brexiteers.

But not everyone was as willing to pop the champagne corks.

Author AJ Farrelly pointed out that Brexit has shrunk UK services exports by £110 billion, putting the £140 million Kraft Heinz investment in context.

So that's £110 BILLION out and £140 MILLION in.

A net LOSS of £109.86bn.

The fact that you're tweeting about ketchup, shows the embarrassing levels of desperation to try and make Brexit look like a good deal.https://t.co/LdunC8qWZX

Others said that the creation of 50 jobs is hardly worth writing home about, with one person jokingly commenting: “That’s unemployment in Wigan wiped out!”

A BREXIT BENEFIT

50 whole jobs

Which means there are actually 7 fewer jobs than Heinz varieties

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
