  • As I said, I think he envisages a low-tax, deregulated economy and that's not possible in the EU or with any close relationship with the EU. Hence him cozying up to Trump. He just wants free reign for business to do what it likes.

    I don't think he particularly needs the money that he gets from the EU (it's ~£72k isn't it?), reckon he could earn more lobbying in the US or something like that.

    Pretty much just speculation though, we're never going to know what he really wants.

  • Personally I don't think it will benefit him hugely (other than some hefty consultancy fees for a bit of glad-handing which aren't to be sniffed at). He just likes the idea of it.

  • No concrete examples, but he used to work in banking/commodities trading, where you can imagine regulations were something of a roadblock to him making (even more?) money
