One of the reasons our film industry is so successful is the 100% tax break.
But numerous schemes over the years have used this tax break illegally
Footballers like Rooney were caught up in a huge anti-avoidance film scam a few yrs ago
And it still goes on
The biggest tax haven is the City....billions of doggy money attracts our banks to circumvent HMRC

Yea...GLEN FRES CEY KAZ SHG....all mine have taken a tumble ...strong dollar is the main cause + China
Bizarre as the last thing Trump wants is a strong dollar if he wants to increase exported goods.
KAZ hasn't paid for the Russian mine yet....just an agreement....so maybe the big investors could force KAZ to withdraw and pay the withdrawal free. But KAZ DOES need to replace the output from it's existing mines as they are coming to an end.
KAZ looked at over 90 prospects and this was their best as Russia will install all the infrastructure to this old disused mine.
But those sanctions that Trump has suddenly slapped on, have upset the KAZ market

The former Ukip leader will tour the UK with the Leave Means Leave group to challenge the Prime Minister’s Chequers “betrayal”.

A defiant Mr Farage will join the campaign’s battle bus at events across the country to help raise funds and rally Leave supporters furious with the government’s Brexit blueprint.
“Theresa the appeaser has produced ideas that are a cowardly sell-out. Now is the time for action.

“Since the Chequers betrayal, scores of people have stopped me to ask: 'When are you coming back?'”

“Well, now you have your answer: I’m back.”

Mr Farage is adamant Mrs May’s Chequers plan would prevent the UK from taking control of its borders and fishing rights or signing free-trade deals with other countries.

The LBC radio host believes Britain is lacking “leadership” and hopes the campaign “re-engages voters and restores their faith in Brexit".

Hardline Brexiteers are rattled. They know their plan to crash out of the European Union without a deal is unpopular. Voters don't like the prospect that the M20 could be turned into a lorry park, aeroplanes could be grounded and we might need to stockpile food and drugs in case supplies run out.
That's why Jacob Rees-Mogg and his gang are trying to rebrand a no-deal Brexit as a "clean Brexit". They hope to hoodwink voters and thereby persuade them to charge over the abyss.
Rees-Mogg's European Research Group now reportedly plans to publish its manifesto in advance of the Tory Party conference. Although we don't know the details, two strikingly similar columns by fellow hardliners Iain Duncan Smith and Peter Lilley, both former Conservative cabinet ministers, give a clear idea of what the arch-Brexiteers are thinking.

NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks rose late in the day Friday as investors welcomed signs of progress in resolving the trade dispute between the U.S. and China. The Wall Street Journal reported that the countries hope to have a resolution by November.

Industrial, health care and basic materials companies made some of the biggest gains. The report came a day after China said it will send an envoy to Washington for the first talks between the countries since early June.

Marina Severinovsky, an investment strategist at Schroders, said stocks could jump if the U.S. and China make real progress toward a trade agreement. But stocks in emerging markets might make even bigger gains.

Will no one rid me of this turbulent pri*k? Not content with being the worst foreign secretary in a century, resigning because his mate did even though he didn’t want to, and then sparking racial hatred via the pages of a national newspaper column for no better reason than his yawning fear of not being talked about, Boris Johnson is thinking of getting back on the bus.

At least the incompetent David Davis had principles

The UK exports £921m of fish to the EU while importing £775m
The EU and UK need each other to manage fish
Tearing up treaties could be bad news for battered cod

Most commercial fish stocks are shared between UK waters and those of other EU or European coastal states. Some species spend different stages of their lives in different nations’ waters. This is true of cod. If Britain seeks exclusive fishing rights over adults of the species — which predominate in its waters — the temptation for other nations will be to catch them earlier in their life cycle. The net result would be to undo progress towards sustainable fishing.

Andy Lebrecht, a former director-general for food and farming at the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, argues that such a stand-off could also quickly affect trading terms. He points out Britain’s vulnerability to tariffs if EU nations retaliate against any unilateral UK action. Britain exported £921m of fish to the EU in 2015, whereas total imports were worth £775m.

It might be tempting to think we would be better on our own. But fish are a shared resource. For both economic and environmental reasons they require shared management. Going by precedent, any new agreements will be tortuous to negotiate and there is no guarantee that UK fishermen would end up better off, nor that the UK’s dwindling fish stocks will be better conserved if we go it alone.

The PRU is larger than LLOYDS....
Can't see the very successful PRU bidding or merging with dull domestic Lloyds
Remember papers are in the silly season.
