“John Deere, great company. They announced about a year ago, they’re going to build big plants outside of the United States. They’re going to build them in Mexico … I said, ‘If John Deere builds those plants, they’re not selling anything into the United States.’ They just announced yesterday they’re probably not going to build the plants. I kept the jobs here.”

Publisher’s rating: Fałsz
Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds said that “unbelievably the UK has lost more days due to strike action than France”. This is a claim the Labour Party has repeated on social media while promoting the party’s Employment Rights Bill, specifying that it relates to Rishi Sunak’s premiership.
Publisher’s rating: Labour has compared the number of days lost to strikes in the UK between October 2022 and July 2024 with the average number of days lost in France between 2012 and 2022. No official French statistics have yet been released covering the period of Rishi Sunak’s tenure as Prime Minister, making a direct comparison impossible. For previous years where comparisons are available, French strike action outnumbers British action.
