Julia Hartley-Brewer’s defence of Dyson’s move to Singapore ended up a glorious self-own
Here’s Julia Hartley-Brewer – TalkRadio presenter, Express columnist, Brexit cheerleader – giving her take on Brexit-loving James Dyson’s controversial decision to move its HQ to Singapore when Britain leaves the EU.

Global Britain, yes, of course! Why didn’t we think of that? Except, er …
British Jobs moving elsewhere is not Global Britain.

But the best bit was when people unearthed an old tweet – well, not that old, actually – when Hartley-Brewer said this.
This tweet hasn’t aged well.

We believe that’s called a ‘self-own’.
A month ago you were attacking someone for going to work abroad. But Dyson sending jobs abroad you appear to think is a hoot. pic.twitter.com/YcTFYqGoHT

No I didn’t. I mocked someone for claiming that their son’s move to the other side of the world had anything to do with Brexit when it clearly didn’t.

So will you condemn Dyson for moving his business to Singapore? Which has a new trade deal with the EU? Which benefits him, not British workers?
