I can barely believe this from you. And to think you used to portray yourself as the acceptable face of UKIP, as you figured Nigel Farage was too extreme. Shame on you for this blatant racism.

Thread on what Brexit might tell us about how US tariffs could impact investment. We saw 2 key impacts: 1)UK FDI into EU went up (but in a very particular way) 2)Business investment in UK flatlined US hopes a version of 1) will happen. What does Brexit experience suggest?...1/

Dear British friends,I’m so sorry you left the #EU 5 years ago. I still don’t think #Brexit was a good idea but then and now I do respect the choice made. Now, more than ever,is time to minimise the losses of divorce & maximise the potential of friendship. #StrongerTogether
