Entrepreneur: Businesses not wanting Brexit is a myth

Entrepreneur John Longworth, co-chairman of Leave Means Leave, says suggestions that businesses do not want to leave the EU are a myth.

He highlights a Federation of Small Businesses poll conducted during the referendum campaign which found that “almost half of its members were determined to leave the EU.”

He says that while the business community is split on the issue, it is “privately owned British companies, alongside the risk-taking, innovative entrepreneurs and the multitude of small businesses who most want to leave.” These, he adds, “create employment and are the future.”
