    Derby trainmaker Bombardier has been awarded a £188m contract.
    The deal, to build 130 carriages for rail company Southern, was part-funded with an £80m government subsidy.
    The Department for Transport had been criticised for choosing German rival Siemens over Bombardier as preferred bidder for the £1.4bn Thameslink rail contract.

    Everything is being outsourced nowadays. We're going to get to the point where nothing will be done in our own country.

    Gee, doesn't that sound familiar?

    And you know, once they're gone, they're gone. Trying to bring jobs back is a bit like trying to put toothpaste back into the tube.
