Ford cutting one-fifth of its UK workforce in European overhaul

Ford has announced that it is cutting one-fifth of its workforce in the UK as part of a European overhaul.

Around 1,300 workers are being made redundant in Britain as the company looks to reinvent its brand.

It is part of a wider cull across its European business, where a total of around 3,800 jobs will be axed.

The car giant is looking to change its focus to a smaller range of electric vehicles as part of the changes.
