Simon Sharma is perfectly entitled to hold, and state, an opinion on Brexit etc.
However, before those who support remain rush to quote him, do not forget that he doesn't live in the UK (or even Europe for that matter) but New York!

Fixing Brexit Easy Peasy for Übermensch!
Winning the leadership race was the easy bit, now all that Boris has to do is sort out Brexit.

By his actions so shall he be judged!

The EU's Gordian Knot
Productive meeting with @SteveBarclay last night to discuss #Brexit. I reiterated that for the @Europarl_EN, the withdrawal agreement is not up for renegotiation. I firmly conveyed the message that a no deal outcome would be deeply damaging for all Europeans. pic.twitter.com/EiOoBltlY6— Guy Verhofstadt (@guyverhofstadt) July 10, 2019
They don't want no deal, but refuse to renegotiate the withdrawal agreement!
By tweeting this he has effectively guaranteed a no deal Brexit.

Happy Independence Day!
