However, BBC reality check asked the office for national statistics (ONS) whether working just one hour a week was all that was needed to be officially registered as employed.

The ONS confirmed that was the case.

"Gulliver, nothing to do with Brexit."

Save the wear on your keypad, danny. It's been pointed out to Gullible a number of times that this decision was taken in 2015. But of course it, and other similar business decisions, must be blamed on Brexit.

Jaguar Land Rover to close down for a week in April to adjust production, "" Because of BREXIT."" OK!.

No it's not OK. What, pray tell, has that to do with the 4,500 job losses that you mentioned earlier. You start by mentioning one thing that you ascribe to Brexit (which clearly is nothing to do with it). When challenged you mention something completely different.

Since you did mention something else it's worth addressing. Jaguar Land Rover has been poorly managed for ages and is suffering from the diesel fiasco and declining demand in China. It had already planned a ten day shutdown in April for maintenance. It is beginning that closure earlier for, what is says, is "Brexit uncertainty". It is not certain whether (a) the UK will leave the UK on 29th March; (b) if it does whether it will leave without a "deal"; (c) if it leaves without a deal whether there will be any immediate effects (as immediately as early April that is). JLR is in some trouble and explaining their decision to close for an extra few days in April due, as they say, to Brexit, is stretching their credibility.

Gulliver, as their troubles started in 2015, a year before the Brexit referendum, how on earth can it be blamed on Brexit.As usual you making an imagined occurrence without any proof
