Staunch Brexiter Lord Ashcroft has advised UK firms to move to Malta after Brexit.

In a blog on Conservative Home the outspoken peer said “as a hard-nosed, self-made businessman, I believe that Malta represents the best destination for ambitious UK firms that must have a post-Brexit presence in the European Union”.

He said the “diverse, open-market economy” makes it an attractive place to move for UK firms that “have understandably decided, particularly in a period of uncertainty, that they will need a base in the EU in future”.

In a blog posted the day before the EU referendum in 2016 Lord Ashcroft mapped out the reasons he is for Brexit, saying “leaving the European Union would not put a bomb under the British economy or end Western political civilization as we know it”.

He went on to say that “when it comes to trade with EU partners….. I know from my own business career, there are plenty of opportunities outside Europe”.

The peer was implicated in a BBC Panorama report late last year over his tax dealings following an investigation that revealed he received payments of £150 million from a Bermuda offshore trust.

Malta has a remittance-based tax system that means non-Maltese individuals can get a very beneficial tax treatment by becoming a resident of Malta.

As Ashcroft points out in his blog, published today, he has “long had a soft spot for Malta”.

I wonder why.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
