No concrete examples, but he used to work in banking/commodities trading, where you can imagine regulations were something of a roadblock to him making (even more?) money

That's a fairly common theme isn't it i.e., some sort of involvement in financial services. It's certainly true of Rees-Mogg, Hannan and Farage (and many other brexiteers too I'm sure). I think their experience has led them to genuinely believe that what they feel is good for the sector they know i.e., more deregulation so they can make more cash, is good for the country as a whole. It's often speculated that conservatism often stems from a fundamental lack of empathy since they seem unable to put themselves in others' shoes and always think that the way the world works for them is the way it works for everyone else.

Thanks for that! Do you have any examples of how less regulations around business will benefit him?
