Every Leave constituency where the MP voted Remain
More than 400 MPs were at odds with their constituencies over Brexit by backing Remain in an area that voted to leave – although most have now said that they will support the Brexit process.

(Source, though I've not posted the full list to save space)
Perhaps you can show us which, if any, of these MPs have changed their stance and now represent their constituents' views by backing Remain? I know my MP, Jonathon Lord, hasn't!
I forgot Jacob Rees-Mogg; Bath and North East Somerset, which includes his constituency, voted 57.9% Remain (source). When will you be calling for his resignation as an MP?
Incorrect
According to Chris Hanretty of the University of East Anglia, who calculated the Brexit vote by constituency, North East Somerset was 52.1% Leave 47.9% Remain. I notice some people are confusing the constituency with the local authority.

No denial there that he would want one in the event of a narrow Remain win!
The key phrase is this ""I'm not putting it on the agenda, I don't want a second referendum - I want to win this one," he said.

Plenty of reports and quotes of his 'unfinished business' remarks, but I can't find any from prior to the referendum where he says ' I don't want a second referendum.'
Speaking to the BBC, Mr Farage denied that his suggestion he would fight for a second referendum would further stoke tensions in the Leave campaign.
"I'm not putting it on the agenda, I don't want a second referendum - I want to win this one," he said.

German Companies Have a Brexit Plan: Send the Bill to the Brits
“Our company didn’t cause Brexit, so why should we suffer for it,” Axel Kiehne, sales manager at Dr. Kaiser Diamantwerkzeuge GmbH & Co. KG -- a maker of machine tools for high-precision grinding -- said at the event. “It might sound harsh, but the costs should be borne by the British companies.”
Good News for anyone that owns an dieselgate vehicle as the owners didn't cause dieselgate so why should they suffer. Will the German auto industry pay for the devulation difference between a petrol equivalent and their dieselgate vehicle. As for German auto industry increasing their prices they forgotten key issue customer doesn't have to buy they have choice to seek alternative or not to buy. There are many British built vehicles currently in use some are more than 60 years old and still going strong with plenty of spare parts available

Madrid, Paris, and Brussels now have the power to ban diesel cars from their roads.
But at least we know your original post about Nissan was a complete tissue of lies as it failed to mention drop of sales or any concerns about eu emission rules

You should read more than the headline, especially with yellow press media like the Express who love to manipulate people that way.
I Suggest you re-read my posts which clearly details which cities in Europe where certain types of diesel cars will not be permitted
Suggest you also read past the headlines for example when you posted that Carmaker taciturn on reports about Sunderland plant, as fears grow over Brexit impact , completely ignoring major drop in diesel sales and new EU diesel emissions rules

Thanks for confirming that you and the Express wrote nonsense. The clickbaiting of yellow press papers like the Express works because people like you only read the headlines.
Nothing of the sort it confirms the real reason why Nissan have chosen not to build the new x-trail in the UK or the EU , Brexit may have play a part but the main reason is the EU diesel emissions and falling diesel sales
NISSAN bosses have confirmed the next-generation X-Trail SUV will be made in Japan instead of Sunderland but new European diesel emissions rules rather than Brexit lie behind the change of heart.
Chairman Gianluca de Ficchy said so much had changed since October 2016 when plans to build the X-Trail and Qashqai in the UK that the Japanese firm had been left with little choice but to switch production to its Kyushu plant. He said the Japanese factory was already geared up to make the X-Trail and that it now made sense to concentrate production there. Mr de Ficchy said: "At that time they were both planned as 'traditional' models, powered by internal combustion engines."
He continued: “X-Trail was already going to be made in Kyushu, but there was a good business case for bringing production to Europe as well.
"Since that time, as you know, the environment for the car industry in Europe has changed dramatically.
“To meet the changing emissions regulations we've had to invest much more in new powertrains for our future models like X-Trail.
“At the same time, the volume forecasts for X-Trail in Europe have reduced.
"For those reasons the company has decided to optimise our investments and concentrate production in Kyushu, instead of adding another production site.

Because Japan and the EU now have a free trade agreement.
Which Brexiteers are keen to have no part of.
It appears that Nissan wouldn't be selling many diesel cars with the Japan EU agreement in place

Once again your numbers are way out in this report written in 2016 its states that Germany has over 13,000 nursing homes, its unlikely that there only 1 person for each care home
Germany does have a long term care insurance plan where its mandatory to pay 2% of your salary each month.
Depending on the type of care that is needed, the costs can differ drastically between care levels. Typically care level three requires the most attention and can therefore be more expensive – on average costing more than 3000 Euro a month. About 50 percent of this has to be paid by the patients themselves.

you talk of stupid EU law,i wonder what the germans/french would make of the UK law my cousins are going through at the moment and a law i have also had friends affected by and may well be myself in the near future,the taking of all savings and selling of homes to pay for nursing home costs in old age,an EU citizen probably wouldnt believe it possible and would be even more shocked if you told them this UK law didnt apply to Scotland,and you want to see our govt come up with more of our own laws,UK law isnt even equal within in the UK,this is just one example there are more,iam surprised someone hasnt challenged this law in the european courts maybe they have i dont know,but it proves we are not at the mercy of EU law,what a shame as they would never of approved anything as barbaric.be careful what you wish for
I am fully aware of Nursing home/care home costs approx £1000-1500 per week in the UK
your cousins are more than likely fully aware if their parents spent spent and didn't save during their lifetimes didn't purchase property or investments and if their total savings/income including property were less than £23,000 their parents care home/nursing home fees would be paid for by the UK taxpayer
I think what your cousins are complaining about is their Potential inheritance pot is being eroded away with Nursing Home/Care Home costs , although I suspect if you were asked to pay another £5k each year in taxes so your cousins could retain their Potential inheritance pot you might declined to do so
And it seems you are totally unaware that many German families send their relatives overseas due to high care costs in Germany
