Less about pubs, get people back to work, says billionaire James Dyson

The vocal Brexiteer explained that his company – now headquartered in Singapore – had to make job cuts to adapt to challenges brought by the pandemic

The British billionaire who made his fortune with the invention of the bagless vacuum cleaner, James Dyson, urged the UK government to talk less about pubs and do more to get people back to work as the economy takes a blow following the first wave of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Speaking to the BBC Radio 4 programme on 7 October, Dyson insisted that entrepreneurship should be encouraged and could be a way out of the crisis.
