I have been subjected to an avalanche of smears and false allegations which have become increasingly complicated and surreal. It is obvious to me that these attacks have been made in order to destabilise the result. What the disruptors desire is equally clear: to overturn Brexit.

Seemingly, these anti-democrats will stop at nothing. Let’s start with HMRC. Despite having paid millions of pounds in tax during 25 years in business, I have been the subject of six HMRC investigations since June 2016. Given that I never had my financial affairs queried before Brexit, I can only conclude there is a link between my anti-EU stance and the motivations of these public servants.

Then there is the Electoral Commission, which devoted considerable time and public money to exploring absurd accusations that Leave.EU was in effect controlled by Russia. This grand conspiracy melted away into nothing, until it was turned into an investigation relating to the technical allegation that Leave.EU broke spending limits by £75,000. I still maintain that this was a trumped-up charge, incidentally. For this reason, I am taking it to court.
