Christine Lagarde says governments must address corporation taxation concerns The managing director of the International Monetary Fund has joined the growing clamour to further tax tech firms Google, Facebook and Amazon as part of a wider review of “outdated” global corporation tax rules.

The next recession will expose the eurozone as a half-baked project in need of leadership As the clock has ticked down towards Brexit, the state of the UK has attracted even more attention than normal. Every scrap of official data and every survey of business opinion have been pored over by leavers and remainers alike. Much less attention, understandably enough, has been paid to what is happening in the rest of the European Union, where the recent news has been poor. The frustration of the leaders of the other 27 EU countries towards Theresa May is that Europe has plenty of issues that need addressing, with Brexit not even the most serious of them.

Switching supplier after years seems counterintuitive. But that can cost the most vulnerable customers £200 or more a yearWhen it comes to navigating the vast array of suppliers, offers and tariffs for insurance, broadband, television and other services, there is one strategy consumers are told to use to ensure they get the best deal – keep switching. Although frequently seen as being a cumbersome and time-consuming process, moving from one provider to another has become the best way to avoid overpaying by hundreds of pounds a year.
