The City View: Matthew Elliott on why the mood music points to a Brexit deal
In this episode Christian is joined by Matthew Elliott, a veteran political campaigner, having been CEO of two successful referendum campaigns – NOtoAV in 2011 and Vote Leave in 2016. He also founded the TaxPayers’ Alliance, Big Brother Watch, Business for Britain and Brexit Central.
He has been described by the New Statesman as “one of the most successful – and feared – campaigners in British politics”.
He is now a Senior Adviser to Shore Capital and a regular commentator on political and economic issues. Matthew talks about his optimism for a UK-EU Brexit deal by December and offers his thoughts on how the chancellor should respond to the economic crisis caused by coronavirus.
He warns against tax rises and anything that could deter international investment, and urges the government to support businesses and entrepreneurs as the country emerges from lockdown.
Also in this episode, Christian looks at the UK’s offer of citizenship to Hong Kong residents; the chances of a Brexit deal for financial services; and the ongoing debate about a shorter trading day in the markets.
