Those who hung on his every word over Brexit may like to take particular note of this...
"But in an email on Thursday, Sir James revealed that Dyson was closing electric car facilities both in the UK and Singapore.
The project employed 523 people, 500 of whom were in UK, and Sir James praised their "immense" achievements."
Fairly keen on reducing any involvement he has in the UK, it would appear.
In January 2019..

"insists no UK jobs will be lost and that work at its Wiltshire sites will be unaffected."
No wonder he is a vocal advocate of leave with no deal, it won't affect him in any way.
According to the FT, Dyson received £2.8m in funding for his research in 2017 FROM THE EU. He received £16m from the UK Government for his work on Electric cars.

Before Brexit became his 'thing' he used to complain about how difficult it was to bring immigrants from outside the EU into his company and that immigration controls should be relaxed.
And yet the remain side STILL holds him up as an example of the quality of businessman that supports Brexit.
Dyson is, and always has been since long before his vacuum cleaner was successful, a self-serving dick with no feelings of loyalty to anybody.
