It's not like he's moving to the EU which I agree would possibly arguably make him seem like a hypocrit. He's moving to a non-EU country tho, so.... ?

October 19, 2018 - Singapore and EU sign free-trade agreement. [0]

January 22, 2019 - Dyson announces move to Singapore. [1]

After such strong support for Brexit, it is not a good look.
