Nissan in particular (and other car manufacturers in general) will definitely go, they're steeped in JIT implementation and they won't risk it. They also won't risk the cutover from Sunderland to new site being anything other than seamless (read unfortunately ruthless to employees) when it does happen.
Political upheaval is an operational risk against which they hold capital to cope with so they'll be able to cover with the costs of moving.
(Cue another discussion about JIT. )

But, OK, Rees-Mogg is already prepared with this Dublin funds and we can reap the benefits in 50 years. When we are dead or our still living brains are rented to wetware processing power.

Dutch company director, says it like it is.
The English (northern Irish people are more direct) "we could possibly..." that may very well mean "we will" is not really used in the Netherlands, it is just pure "yeah we are going if X and then we go".
For all we know Nissan is also immediately going bit not saying it as such?
