There are probably more man-hours involved in the UK keeping them
maintained, than there were in Germany building them.

Not all of the TBMs are yet in use, so the were definitely German jobs
involved in their construction in 2012.

Do we know how many?

And why are German jobs even an issue, it's UK-based jobs that the claim was about.

Did it actually mention UK jobs, or just jobs in the supply chain?
