Alan Sugar, Baron Sugar (born London, 24 March 1947) is a British businessman who founded the electronics company Amstrad plc, which did much to popularise personal computers in the 1980s and 1990s, and for several years owned the English Premier League football team Tottenham Hotspur F.C. He has achieved further fame as the prospective employer in the British version of the TV series The Apprentice, where he employs his gruff, no-nonsense personality to great effect.
History
Although Sugar was for a long-time one of the Labour Party's largest donors, Sugar left Labour in May 2015, shortly after that year's general election. He cited the party's anti-business and anti-enterprise policies as his main reason for ceasing his involvement in the party.
During the 2016 London Mayoral election campaign, Sugar urged voters not to vote for Labour's far-left candidate Sadiq Khan.
Sugar supported the failed campaign for the UK to remain in the globalist and socialist European Union in the June 2016 referendum on that subject.[1]
In July 2019, Sugar supported Boris Johnson during that month's Conservative Party leadership election. Sugar later supported the Conservative Party at that year's UK general election.
