The government’s new minister for Brexit opportunities, Jacob Rees-Mogg, is directly profiting from significant investments in a pharmaceutical company in China as well as a Russian gas company, according to reports.

Experts have pointed out that Jacob Rees-Mogg holds a substantial stake in a multi-billion investment fund specialised in emerging markets, while at the same time he is now tasked with finding ‘Brexit opportunities’ in those same countries.

A website called the London Economic thinks it has dug the dirt on Brexit poster boy Jacob Rees-Mogg. It says he is in line for a “huge personal windfall” when Britain leaves the single market.
