Suppliers to Jaguar Land Rover are worried about the carmaker's job cuts, warning they could lead to an "unstoppable" decline for the UK motor industry. JLR recently announced 4,000 job reductions over two years, aiming to save £1.7bn in response to intense competition. A cyber-attack cost JLR £200m and reduced its annual profit from £2.5bn to £14m.
