Manufacturing boost is a sign of growing confidence in the UK – EXPRESS COMMENT

BRITISH manufacturing is receiving an end-of-year bonus with the news that business is at a near 30-year-high for the last three months of 2017.

A growing confidence as the Brexit talks make progress is helping boost British manufacturing

Export orders are at their strongest since the mid-1990s. 

This is in part due to the lower pound boosting exports and also growing confidence as the Brexit talks make progress. 

Decisions that have been delayed because of the atmosphere of uncertainty in the past 18 months following the EU referendum are now being taken. 

Strongest of all the sectors are motor vehicles, transport equipment and mechanical engineering, according to a survey by CBI Industrial Trends.

What a turnaround for the Government and the Prime Minister as the year – a gruelling one for Mrs May – approaches its end. 

For all the continued obfuscation and stonewalling by the likes of EU negotiator Michel Barnier there is a real sense that the Brexit process is on track. 

Theresa May can now say with some assurance that “I will not be derailed from delivering the will of the British people” and that the time has now come to “begin to build that new, deep and special partnership” with the EU.

Be alert to terror threat

In these worrying times the incident at RAF Mildenhall, an airbase in Suffolk used by the US, was extremely alarming.  

A man in a car attempted to ram the checkpoints. 

The guards opened fire and it seems were able to stop the car. 

The driver suffered cuts and bruises and was arrested. 

At this point it seems as though this was not a terror-related incident.

The incident at RAF Mildenhall doesn't seem to be terror-related

But events like this only underline the fact that our country remains on a very high state of alert. 

It has been a terrible year for terror. 

In March there was the Westminster Bridge outrage when four innocent people died. 

May saw the Manchester Arena bombing – 22 killed including young children.

As this year has been mark by terror attacks, the Mildenhall incident was extremely alarming

In June eight people died in the London Bridge horror. 

There were also attacks at Finsbury Park in north London and on a London underground train. 

In the run-up to Christmas there is additional cause for concern. 

It looks as though the Mildenhall incident was crime not terror but we can never be complacent.
