What my own work on the subject tells me about Brexit deregulation and what to make of possible “Brexit upsides” to come Okay, confession time. Some of you may know this already, and the information I’m about to divulge is available to anyone who might wish to perform even the most cursory of internet checks on me, but for two years, between 2017 and 2019, I was the Director General of something called the Red Tape Initiative. If you think it sounds pretty Brexity, that was intentional - I was starting the thing from scratch with Oliver Letwin as chair. Given both he and I were Remainers, I worried that the whole thing would be taken as a Remainer attempt to prove that Brexit was a bad idea and that would affect the work the organisation was going to attempt to do. I wanted to play the whole thing with as straight a bat as possible, for reasons I will now explain.
