Patrick West states in that article that the Tories had to get out of the EU because of the TTIP. Why then, was Cameron leading at the helm to push the TTIP through before Obama retired from office?

I have no idea what goes on in Cameron's head, other than self-interest of course, but as he is no longer part of government I no longer care.
Until recently I was not aware of Article 106 and the EUs desire to de-nationalise public services and put them up for private tender. As part of the EU that would apply to our NHS. How many others are not aware of this I wonder.
Whatever some choose to believe about the tories wanting to privatise the NHS, of which there is little evidence, I feel that being part of the EU would pose a far greater risk of that happening than it would under the tories.
Beware folks the EU is the devil in disguise. As the article says 'the EU's worship of corporate capitalism doesn't fit in with the cosy narrative of the European Union being a humane, fluffy liberal force for the good'.
