- The billionaire Weston family has confirmed a £10bn spin-off for Primark. The budget fashion retailer will demerge from Associated British Foods to become a standalone entity on the FTSE 100. While the move is designed to give shareholders direct retail exposure, the market is questioning if ABF’s food empire can remain as strong without its prized asset.

- For decades, the golden rule for the City’s elite was simple: pour your capital into London bricks and mortar. But that era is officially over. In this deep dive, we reveal why the UK’s mass affluent are staged an "exodus" from the property market as traditional buy-to-let models crumble under the weight of soaring stamp duty and stagnant price growth.You will learn why a standard stock market portfolio is now consistently outperforming property returns and why multi-million pound mansions are actually losing value in real terms.
With sales of prime London homes plummeting by a staggering 37%, we explore the "perfect storm" of high taxes and burdensome regulations killing the market. Forget draughty Victorian terraces; the new smart money is chasing liquidity in stocks, bonds, and commodities. Watch to find out if your portfolio is stuck in a dead asset class.

- Description
- The disintegration of the Conservatives after 14 years and five Prime Ministers gifted Starmer’s Labour the opportunity to restore some much needed competence to the running of the country. “A politics that treads a little lighter on people’s lives” was a compelling proposition after the drama and in-fighting that characterised the dying days of Tory rule.
The problem, of course, was that “we’ll be better than the last lot” was never going to be enough, not in a world as uncertain as ours or with an economy running on fumes and an electorate frustrated and anxious across multiple fronts.
We know now the process of appointing Peter Mandelson to the post of US Ambassador was at best shambolic and at worst nefarious. It has eroded Starmer’s moral authority and now it has claimed his credibility as well.
He is unlikely to recover either.
