Conflicting reporting. Shell say they will leave behind the green energy business in NL taking the oil part to UK (under pressure from US investors) The oil part has less future, so the UK has only a temporary Increase in employment. The only gains are for investors due to the lesser dividend tax and a smaller gain for tax in the UK. Mountain and mole hills come to mind.

Yes but the 'lesser' and 'smaller' are relative. For Shell these figures are maybe more than the GDP of many lesser countries  For something this high profile in the current whirlpool of things in London, methinks there are also a myriad of other deals/incentives for the move... |

One door closes and another opens, the Dutch now have "The British Corner Shop" as compensation.
