  1. _”This is as short-sighted as it is stupid. In the global economy, companies will simply choose to transfer jobs and invest elsewhere,” he warned._

    He is such a tosser. Supported Brexit then moved jobs overseas.

    And that, dear reader, is why every single country in the world has exactly the same rate of corporation tax…

  3. It’s very easy for senior businesspeople to complain that they’re not given enough freedom to make money and that they’re getting taxed too much.

    But their businesses rely on having a state that is running a functioning police and justice system and that has a healthy and well-educated workforce.

    Economies work when businesses are confident that the courts will enforce rulings promptly, that police will protect their property, when their workers can think critically and use the latest IT systems, when staff are well-fed, healthy, and don’t leave the workforce early to look after children or the elderly relatives that social services can’t support.

  4. If I had a pound for every rich person in the news moaning that they don’t make enough money, I’d be so rich that I’d be in the news moaning that I didn’t make enough money

  5. Taking advice on the economy from a billionaire is stupid. How about taking advice on the economy from economists who are looking at delivering the best result for the most people instead of the richest 0.001% who only chime in to say they’d actually quite like it if they had a bit more.

  6. Chief Brexit proponent thinks he knows what is or isn’t stupid for the UK economy, fucking lol. Also, Dyson products are dogshit.

  7. Didn’t he vote for brexit then fuck off to the EU right after? This man is just more filth on the gigantic, monumental pile of filth that seem to have sway in the UK.

  8. This is a guy who invents things that already exist except they’re 5x more expensive.

    Hardly in a position to talk about innovation.

  9. Says the man who threw a wobbly about the EU and backed brexit.

    Heard from someone who did some work with him years ago that he’s a bit of wanker.

    Their vacuum cleaners aren’t particularly reliable, had to throw mine away.

    He’s good at selling something perfectly normal as some miraculous invention, for example the digital motor, which is apparently a switched reluctance motor which has been in existence since the 1980s.

  10. Short sighted?

    You remember you cancelled your EV car development? You know, the fastest growing segment in vehicle sales. Yeh, that’s really short sighted.

  11. Didn’t this fucker back brexit, then take his factory to Singapore or somewhere…

    Fuck off….
