After a stint as assistant editor of Jewish Ideas Daily and Mosaic, Simon returned to his native London to take up the post of policy adviser and speechwriter to Daniel Taub, Israel’s then Ambassador to the United Kingdom. Simon then went on to perform a similar role for Douglas Carswell – a Member of Parliament and co-founder of Vote Leave – throughout and beyond the successful campaign to end the UK’s membership of the European Union of which he was one of the principal architects. He is a graduate of both the University of Oxford (BA, Philosophy & Modern Languages, 2011) and King’s College, London (MA, Political Economy, 2018).
