00:30I ran a big multinational listed property company, listed on the London Stock Exchange.

00:37I ran that for four years, we tripled the share price and then along came the Brexit

00:44referendum and I guess that was my eureka moment where I felt there was a really important

00:51choice for the country.

00:52I had a very clear view that we should leave a bureaucratic sort of monster of a quango

01:03and be an independent sovereign nation, free to make its own decisions and to essentially

01:10sort of embrace the opportunities of the whole world without being sort of kowtowing to people

01:16in Brussels.

01:17So that was the eureka moment.
