BUDGET supermarket chain Lidl is to create 5,000 jobs in London and invest £70m in a new UK headquarters in the capital as it reaffirms its commitment to post-Brexit Britain.
The German chain said the jobs are part of plans to open nearly 250 new stores in London as it pushes ahead with a three-year UK investment plan worth £1.5bn.

Quote:
BIG foreign banks paid an average corporation tax rate of just six per cent in the UK last year – despite making billions of pounds here.
The pitiful amount of tax is just a third of the standard corporate tax rate of 20 per cent.
Big banks have paid tax at a rate of less than 6 per cent, just a third of the standard 20 per cent corporate tax rate
Such banks are not breaking any rules, but in many cases are using losses made in the financial crisis to reduce the tax they pay now.
Many of the biggest international banks operating in London have just published their tax figures ahead of a end-of-year deadline.
Five of them, all U.S. banks, reported a profit – a combined $7.5billion (£6billion) – and paid corporation tax, or corporate income tax, of $452 million (£361.6million).
