Caption: Lib Dem MPs Urge Action on Brexit Red Tape to Protect Jobs at Oxford Mini Plant. Liberal Democrat MPs are pushing the UK government to tackle post-Brexit red tape amid fears for jobs at Oxford’s Mini plant. The call comes after BMW announced a delay to its £600m electric vehicle upgrade at the Cowley site citing uncertainty in the automotive industry. MP Calum Miller said Brexit paperwork has become a major hurdle, with hundreds of pages required for a single car. He urged better cooperation with Europe to ease the burden and encourage BMW to invest. MP Freddie van Mierlo also highlighted the UK’s lack of battery production and charging infrastructure. The group plans to meet with the Minister for Industry in April. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
