here is one Royal Dutch Shell has announced a plan to move its headquarters to the UK as part of proposals to simplify the company's structure. The oil giant will ask shareholders to vote on shifting its tax residence from the Netherlands to the UK. It also wants to do away with its dual share structure in favour of just one class of shares to boost "the speed and flexibility" of shareholder payouts. Shell's chief executive, Ben van Beurden, will relocate to the UK. The company's chief financial officer, Jessica Uhl, will also move, alongside seven other senior employees. Business and Energy Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng welcomed Shell's announcement, tweeting that it was "a clear vote of confidence in the British economy". The Dutch government, however, said it was "unpleasantly surprised" by Shell's proposal. According to reports in the Financial Times newspaper, Dutch government officials are scrambling to find a parliamentary majority to scrap a 15% withholding tax charged on dividends, which Shell has previously described as a problem. Stef Blok, economic affairs and climate minister, said earlier on Monday: "We are in a dialogue with the management of Shell over the consequences of this plan for jobs, crucial investment decisions and sustainability."
And how would that benefit the UK? From memory I think they only have offices over there for tax purposes. Even if it does 'move here' it won't put money in our pockets, they already have their UK headquarters here. It's more likely because the Dutch are trying to make Shell reduce their carbon footprint tbh.

Broadly agree with the ones who are genuine migrants and criminals but a lot of headline grabbing Cruelle De Ville **** going on here. Not sure how you can deny some level of responsibility for a person who’s never even been to their parents homeland as a general rule, but it’s also not right to have a person further poison uk prisoners. I hope this rule also applies to tax dodging wealth sapping Americans.
Its reported in the Daily getsmuch worse that Bonko said at some dinner with his mates, that he has 'buyers remorse' marrying Carrie!
What I don't get is why anyone thinks anything he says is funny. I keep hearing about his witty speeches but I must have only seen the embarrassing ones written by the scriptwriters even Ant & Dec rejected.
He’s had it I think. I think they want him out even in his own party and even some previously sympathetic newspapers - then we’ll really find out what they’ve been up to. All blag and ****ing useless but also deeply arrogant, unethical and discriminatory. People who voted for him because of three repeated ultimately flawed words need to have a look at themselves. Got Brexit done at a huge political economic and now social cost. Should have found a way to do it well but that wasn’t possible with him at the helm. Can’t wait to see him sunk and get someone with half a brain in for the good of us all.
