An Indian owner is cutting 4,000 British jobs.

The cuts hit Jaguar Land Rover’s 43,000-strong workforce and the West Midlands suppliers around it.

Tariffs, a shrinking China luxury market and the electric-vehicle transition squeezed Tata-owned JLR toward £1.7 billion in savings.

The company says manufacturing jobs are spared; consultations with unions have already begun.
