SWINDON and other Leave-voting areas with large manufacturing bases would be worst hit by job losses in the event of a no-deal Brexit, according to a leaked government document.

The Operation Kingfisher list seen by the Sunday Times highlighted “areas vulnerable to shock by virtue of having large plants, in vulnerable sectors, with labour markets that would struggle to cope”.

Here’s what you said on Facebook:

Adam Poole: "What a surprise. What leavers called Project Fear was in fact Project Reality."

Phil Paton: "It can only be reality if it happens, and as yet nothing has happened and the UK’s Economy continues to do a lot better than the EU and predictions."

Louie Lewis: "It’s a pity a pity some people weren’t concerned when many British jobs were lost way before the referendum to other EU countries and with the help of the beloved EU too."

Jamie Hill: "It always amazes me how much people are willing to ignore factual information presented to them as it doesn’t fit in with their belief system.

"The economy has been in a terrible state because of the Brexit uncertainty.

"Things aren’t good. And these no-deal reports have been commissioned by the government not by a Project Fear Remain cabal."

Robert Weyman: "This is the usual scaremongering nonsense."

Alan Walklett: "People are using the change in times against Brexit! Shops haven’t closed because of Brexit.

"We will leave on the 31st, then all you Remainers will hide in the shadows because you will be too proud to admit you were wrong!"

Phil Paton: "The shop closures are not a Brexit issue but a change in shopping habits, people prefer the convenience and usually cheaper prices that can be found on-line.

"I recently looked for some speakers for home. They were over £1,000 in the local shops and I found them on-line from an American shop for £400."

Adam Poole: "It’s already happening. Hundreds of thousands of British people have lost their jobs as a direct result of the result."

James Bonehill: "He is basically saying that a document produced by the people he supports is lies... yet he backs them unconditionally.

"The world has gone mad, we have broken as country to the point were everyone is leave/remain and facts are no longer facts, even on non-Brexit situations! Stop the world I want to get off."

Ben Fiocca: "Before commenting, remember the government is hard leave so no excuses saying this is Remoaner scaremongering.

"This is the reality.

"It’s a report done by the civil service for the government.

"It’s not a Remoaner plot or something equally nonsensical, it is what it is and the only reason people come up with these conspiracy theories is because it doesn’t say what people want it to say and goes against their beloved Brexit."

Jan Selton: "It will all work out in the long run."

Jack Flanagan: "Honda are leaving anyway."

Salim Sheikh: "The new one of three Giga battery factory needs to come to Swindon.

It’s the perfect place for development, manufacturing and distribution."

Michal Kowalski: "You get what you wanted. I’m very happy for Swindon’s Brexiters, good job people."

Neil Michael Robinson: "Honda is leaving because they decided not to build electric cars here, but in Japan as the Swindon plant didn’t have the infrastructure. Dyson decided not to build electric cars either.

"It’s called business. Not Brexit."
