"The difference in the UK, on your own now, separate from Europe, it's a relatively small market."
David Ricks, CEO of pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly, tells #R4Today 'something needs to be quite different' to make the UK interesting in the global markets after leaving the EU.
"The difference in the UK, on your own now, separate from Europe, it's a relatively small market for most multinationals and certainly for Americans. Something needs to be quite different to make it interesting."

David Ricks, boss of pharma giant Eli Lilly on @BBCr4today:
“You’re on your own now, outside Europe, so things need to be really quite different to make things interesting” — i.e UK needs to become regulatory sand box, invest in regulators, be nimble, not just talk about it.
"Should we be inviting a company like Shein to join the London Stock Exchange?"
@seanfarrington asks former Barclays UK chair Sir Ian Cheshire, who says he would 'always vote for companies coming to London' to 'make them more leaders in their space'.

In a statement, a Treasury spokesperson said:
"Our customs and tax regime balances reducing burdens for businesses and consumers buying lower-value goods from overseas with the interests of UK businesses.
"The decision on whether a firm can list in the UK is for the independent regulator, the FCA, subject to a firm meeting the FCA’s listing rules."
#R4Today
Shein declined to comment - but directed to us previous statements in which they've said Shein's success is down to a flexible and efficient supply chain, not tax exemptions and that they "look forward to work with policy makers to review current frameworks".
#R4Today
Speaking to business presenter @seanfarrington, Julian Dunkerton, chief of clothing brand Superdry, accuses Shein of being allowed to 'tax dodge' and says the government 'absolutely' needs to step in to close loopholes.

@FT@ftweekend Incredible photography by Jonangelo Molinari. Brilliant editing and guidance from @neilos49.
And a big thanks to the men who told us their stories, even as they lost friends and fellow fighters.
Best read of the weekend - @SamuelHunt's up close and personal look at the bare-knuckle scene, and the lives of those involved. Incredible colour from the words, the voices and the photos. As many in the comments say - proper journalism.
‘One day at work as a traffic warden, a member of the public punched him. “When I got home, I thought, ‘Do you know what, I fucking enjoyed that.’” The wild, strangely redemptive world of Bare Knuckle fight club.
