vww business in society and how, without the wealth creative part of it, you don't get a public—sector, you don't get tax, and i named companies that have done nothing to help the reputation of business. loads of them. frankly, this lot have just joined the list. it breaks my heart. because a good hard—working businesswoman sitting in newcastle oi'i businesswoman sitting in newcastle on time, risking her house, creating tenjobs, rarely on time, risking her house, creating ten jobs, rarely seeing on time, risking her house, creating tenjobs, rarely seeing the family, working hard, she has as much to do with that story and then they get lumped together as businesses.|j with that story and then they get lumped together as businesses. i am not sure it goes together. it really worries me. and i condemn this and i am grateful to the ft for putting it oi'i am grateful to the ft for putting it on the front page. can people tell the difference between the worst of big business and a small to medium—size business? that's why we have different terms. i have been a businessman. i have taken risks, i have lost a lot of

money, that is why i so bitter laughter we are not saying that thames water is not paying taxes. we have a guy... accountability is something we are looking for and we do not find it in this story when you consider how much damage they have done, huge amount of untreated sewage, the amount they have paid in dividends in ten years and how little the fine has been, it does not sound like a balanced approach. you could not make this up. they pay themselves more money than the fine but then the dividend goes to shareholders in luxembourg and the cayman islands. it has got everything. it breaks my heart because so many businesspeople every day, watching this programme, will

tell you this is absolutely disgraceful. donald trump wins vote to replace obamacare. they have finally crossed the first hurdle. 20 republicans voted against it but over rolled the figures went their way. all the democrats voted against it. what they had to do to get it across the line, no protection to existing pre—existing conditions. the states will be able to opt out of the rules prohibiting insurance from charging people extra premiums. it is going to mean that at least 2a million people will not have healthcare who currently do have it. it has all been changed so much but it seems there will be millions of people without healthcare but premiums will come down, it will be more affordable... for the rich

people. and more companies to offer the policies. i find it... people. and more companies to offer the policies. ifind it... it is the nature of america. very generous country in terms of foreign policy. there is a huge abortion issue. and yet here is a country that you can buy a yet here is a country that you can buya gun yet here is a country that you can buy a gun down at the drug stop but it has 30 million people with no access to health insurance. the contradiction... isn't the argument for some people is that government has no business meddling? pricing should be but facility, that is for government. the government is led to set the framework. when government retreats, it is the wild west.

people unprotected in the richest country in the world. structure is for government. some collectors stories. a beautiful rainbow, the picture story. you can see it. a diesel car sales slump. suggestions there might be a scrappage scheme. ever likely that people are thinking twice about which car they will buy. ifi twice about which car they will buy. if i was looking to buy a new car would not be buying a diesel. people are being punished. people are encouraged to buy these cars at ten, 15 years ago. it was a government policy. theresa may has acknowledged that. the cbi. it was all about

turning the diesel. interesting point, a personal issue, if you have your car almost invariably is these days, what my mum would have called the never never, on a contract brand which is the residual value of the car so which is the residual value of the car so what you are left owing is what the second— hand car so what you are left owing is what the second—hand price is. on that basis, if you're residual value has gone straight through the floor because diesel car sales slump, no finance company is going to do that. you will find a lot of hardship because of these apparently underfinanced link situation. new car registrations are going down. in general. down by 20%. suing over

pollution. the government facing class action. from diesel vehicles. absolutely. in the last few years, we have a barrister seeking to bring the action. i am not sure how many people willjoin in this action by claimants are looking to identify specifically children living in polluted parts of london. more and more people will contact her now that the story is out. on a purely legal basis, not on a moral issue and health issue, sensitivity to people suffering, but purely from the legal basis i cannot see how you are going to get a claim that sticks

oi'i are going to get a claim that sticks on such a wide ranging... where is the cause and effect, and who can prove that it was these that cause these pollution? we all know what is going to happen, it will make a lot of noise. daily star is where we will end. 52 premiership stars, after the everton winger mental health problem coming to light, all sorts of stresses you imagine being a premiership football player are nothing but positive about the stresses they are under a massive. they really are. these are guys who are plucked from school at the age of ten. a lot of them do not develop the coping skills. everything, especially at the top level, is done for you. when you hit a fork in the

road, it is difficult. people really struggle. in foot will there is no great deal of sympathy for quick is all perceived weakness. years ago clu bs were all perceived weakness. years ago clubs were not aware of the problems. stan collingwood's experience at aston villa, john gregory at the time, it it was suggested he could have been more supportive. john gregory did acknowledge that stan collingwood needed to go away and get some proper help. he understood eventually the difficulties. one of the problems is... henry is absolutely right, they are not equipped to deal with problems. statistically, there have to be quite a few gay footballers but the point is, the culture makes it

difficult to be yourself, be normal, be gay, so what, the mental stress that must put on plays is appalling. evenif that must put on plays is appalling. even if you are a top player, playing two games a week, there is an awful lot of downtime. they go betting, golf but a lot of people... the devil makes work for idle hands. too much time, not enough to do and they struggle to cope, especially when they are not playing. a lot would be homesick. we forget this, one day you're playing with your family, nextday you've been transferred to another country. all you are on the bench, not playing. 29 years old, on the bench, it can result in a lot of stress. the work

the royal family have been doing, the royal family have been doing, the younger royals, this might be a bit of a breakthrough. it would be courageous. it would be great. it is a strange word to use but they could be role models. strange word to use when they are suffering but they could be role models. the former chairman of the pfa attempted suicide a few years ago, now we have aaron lennon, let's hope this time people is concerned sticks. and the goalkeeper... you hope to keep it at the front of people 's mind.|j goalkeeper... you hope to keep it at the front of people 's mind. i will give you seven out of ten. room for improvement but much better. the talking stick stays with me, i am in charge! that's it for the papers
