    This thread well worth a read for all you fans of the history of taxation.

    THREAD ALERT! We've allowed , to takeover this account for a few tweets to explain why we have a tax year which ends on 5th April, with the next one starting on 6th April. It's actually quite unusual and it goes back to Roman times. 1/8

    Barclays settle with Dept of Justice for $2 billion for risky mortgage selling in run up to financial crisis. A lot less than they were asked for in December 2016. Vindicates Barclays decision not to settle back then. First settlement of the Trump administration - worth waiting.

    This is an important point. The political pressure to buy only British post brexit may be powerful. Very bad for British firms if 27 other governments were to shut out uk firms from contracts.

    EU competition law helped shield our politicians from special pleading by big business and calls for protectionism ... they will have to learn to stand firm post Brexit if they are to avoid taxpayer funded handouts to the likes of De La Rue

    Important. GKN pension trustees now happy with Melrose pension plans. Major obstacle overcome - will defuse some - not all - political objection to Melrose potential acquisition of GKN.

    Worth remembering Trump was not really considered a credible Presidential candidate when the facebook data in question was obtained in 2014. Doesn't mean it might not have been inappropriately used - but v unlikely the data scrape didn't start life as a project.

    The moment business had been hoping for. A status quo whole economy transition period in which all rules on trade, people and regulation stay the same till December 2020. Watch for business reaction
