The billionaire businessman said the company had made the
decision to pull the plug on “a very big deal” because of the the uncertainty
created by last week’s vote to quit the EU, saying his company may have lost up
to a third of its value.
Appearing on ITV’s Good Morning Britain, he added: “The
pound has collapsed to its lowest level in 30 years. This country is going to
go into recession, two of the worst days ever. Banks being pounded means they
are not going to lend money.”
“We’re not any worse than anyone else but I suspect we’ve
lost a third of our value, which is dreadful for people in the workplace.”
“We were about to do
a very big deal and we cancelled that deal that would have involved 3,000 jobs
and that’s happening all over the country.”
“When Brexiteers told
the public that people were exaggerating that there would be a financial
meltdown I think that its been proven that they were not exaggerating.
“We’re heading towards disaster and therefore in business if
you realise you made a bad decision you change it. And we’re not saying to
overrule it, just let the same people who voted have another chance and that’s
democratic.”
