Jaguar Land Rover have extended their car production shutdown for at least another week: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c15kpxnn2p2o

There’s a curious and unsourced line at the end of the BBC article: “JLR is currently taking the lead on support for its own supply chain, rather than any state intervention.”

If so, why are suppliers laying off staff and calling for government intervention?

@GossiTheDog I don’t understand how that’s even possible.. I mean.. I know how it’s possible - you just don’t buy the insurance but I don’t understand how JLR could have a CTO/CIO who thought that was a sensible play! There’s only two of us at my business.. even we have cyberinsurance..
