Also a lifeline for Britain’s struggling Piss Water Bottle industry!
They’re expanding their business AND paying their tax right? Right?
Umm maybe he should try working there. Hire thousands yes. But treat them like shit. Hire agency so they can dismiss them the second there metrics drop below perfect.
This is a reward for slave Labour not a win for Britain
Apparently “hire” is slang for “crush the souls of”
Whilst in my town a locally owned manufacturing firm is struggling to expand because of NIMBYs.
They want to develop a brownfield site owned by the council that is currently used as a storage site/dumping ground. The factory will produce no fumes (its high precision milling) and will have a few lorries and 50 cars heading in/out per day.
But no, they should expand ‘outside’ the town, which would mean on greenfield land.
Some people will never be happy.
How about a uk version of Amazon that doesn’t cause uk businesses to close down.
If tax dodging ([source](https://www.ethicalconsumer.org/ethical-campaigns-boycotts/amazon-uks-substantial-tax-avoidance)), killing people ([source](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Amazon_fatalities)), mass injuring people ([source](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/clyjm507462o)), using people like slaves ([source](https://www.business-humanrights.org/en/latest-news/uk-workers-report-neglect-of-staff-wellbeing-at-amazon-warehouse-including-pressure-on-pregnant-women-to-meet-targets-staff-falling-asleep-in-toilet-cubicles/)), and abusing peoples basic human rights ([source](https://tribunemag.co.uk/2023/09/they-treat-us-worse-than-animals-working-without-water-at-amazon)) is winning, I’d hate to see what Starmer thinks is losing!
Yaaaay. Hundreds of poverty wage jobs at an American company that doesn’t pay their fair share of taxes in the U.K. and uses that fact to destroy the British high street. Such a win!
Thousands of new jobs in the UK is great but on the other hand think of all the shops that have closed because people keep using Amazon. If something is cheap there’s a reason, usually exploitation
Warehouse jobs aren’t exactly a win for an advanced economy. Not to mention Amazon (and others) continue to invest in automation technologies that’ll make these jobs redundant within ten years if not earlier. I don’t blame these companies – this is the pace of technological advancement and they can either innovate or go under. We should be trying to incentivise these and other companies to bring those high-skill R&D, and tech jobs to our shores! That’s the future!
Allowing mega corporations to get a stranglehold on our culture and americanise our towns is the reason why all of our high streets look like shit now btw. Bet they still won’t pay their fair share of corporation tax either.
Expanding the power base of a company that has demonstrated it is very happy to support the destruction of democracy and doesn’t even pay taxes to do so.
What a win.
Hiring but who is going to make people leave their benefits and actually work?
I hope for their sake that the ECHR talk doesn’t get more traction
This is a damning indictment of the UK workforce. We shouldn’t be celebrating jobs like this if we want to maintain a half decent standard of living in the UK.
Every single person working here will be taking out more than the pay in. This is not sustainable.
I’ve met a few people who worked for Amazon – none of them enjoyed it in the slightest.
I live near the big Amazon warehouse in Coventry and given how they treat staff, as well as the nefarious actions taken to prevent staff from unionising I wouldn’t exactly call this a win….

I bet the people seeing this as a win are the same people complaining about the high street dying 😂
More low income jobs in which workers are forced to have their babies in the toilet?!
WOW!
Win for Britain, when Amazon off shore their taxes to Luxembourg?
…okay.
Ok, they’re paying the bare minimum PAYE, but are they going to be paying the business tax they’re supposed to?
If they don’t it’s a very shallow win
