A significant part of the establishment supports Brexit precisely because it forces the country to do unsavoury but profitable deals. They want Britain to be an amoral self-interested global actor, taking advantage of regulatory arbitrage and beggar thy neighbour practices to extract rents and windfall profits, like a kind of global parasite.
The powerful people who support Brexit most visibly in the media are not themselves concerned with immigration or the working man's difficulty competing with global labour and capital; but they leverage those fears effectively.
This piece is obviously part of a PR effort to try and reduce the appeal of that path. What happens next with the office will be a decent indicator of the prevailing winds.
