He issued a scathing critique of Brexit's economic impact, stating the UK is losing an estimated £100bn in trade and £40bn in tax receipts annually, making every Briton financially worse off. Sir John criticised Brexit campaign leaders, including Nigel Farage, Boris Johnson and Michael Gove, for making 'impossible promises' and using 'empty slogans' that failed to deliver a 'land of milk and honey'. He believes that while full EU rejoining is not imminent, the next generation will be instrumental in the UK's eventual return, noting that 68 per cent of people now consider leaving a mistake. Sir John also demanded greater transparency from Nigel Farage regarding a £5m donation from a cryptocurrency billionaire, questioning the obligations attached to such a substantial sum.
