I fail to see how this is an EU guilt trip action here. The EU said it couldn’t have EU agencies in non-EU countries in the event of Brexit and now it won’t. Job done, 1000+ high end jobs gone. It’s what we voted for
Jobs will come and jobs will go just like they always did before the EU and will afterwards. It's called economic reality and job losses are not always due to Brexit any more than job creation is always down to the EU.

....

Figures published by the Department for International Trade have today revealed that the UK attracted more foreign direct investment (FDI) projects than ever before for the year 2016 to 2017.

With more than 2,200 projects recorded, the post-referendum figures show an increase of 2% on the previous year. The data also shows that 75,226 new jobs were created, and 32,672 safeguarded, amounting to over 2,000 jobs per week across the country.

Overall, the UK is the number one destination for inward investment in Europe, with the technology, renewable energy, life sciences and creative industries all seeing an increase in the number of projects.
Let's not be positive about anything which contradicts project fear though when we can seize on every negative and lay its cause at the door of Brexit.
