Nick Clegg embraces Brexit benefits

Well, well, well. In his new job as president of global affairs at Meta, former leader of the Liberal Democrats and staunch Remainer Nick Clegg has announced a widespread roll-out of Meta AI across countries including Brazil and the UK. Yet, rather interestingly, the Brexit-opposed businessman noted that the software was unable to be rolled out in the EU ‘because of the regulatory uncertainty we face there’.

Taking to Twitter, the Remoaner noted:

We’re expanding Meta AI to more countries, including Brazil and the UK. Unfortunately, we still can’t roll it out in the EU because of the regulatory uncertainty we face there. I hope the new Commission looks afresh at these issues, consistent with President Von Der Leyen’s aim of completing the EU’s digital Single Market, so Europeans can benefit from this new wave of technologies.

How curious. The former deputy prime minister spent much of him time in and out of office lamenting the fact of the UK leaving the European Union, warning of a ‘disorderly and chaotic’ exit and even publishing a guide entitled ‘How to Stop Brexit’.
