Overview
Unilever Plc is planning to cut thousands of management jobs as it accelerates a push to improve sales growth across the business, which has come under increasing pressure from investors.
The fight over the future of M&C Saatchi has escalated after directors rejected a sweetened takeover approach from a cash shell run by tech entrepreneur Vin Murria and said her plans for the advertising company were still light on detail.
UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson repeatedly refused on Monday to say whether a 12 billion pounds ($16.18 billion) national insurance hike would go ahead as planned in April, as pressure mounted on him from within his own party to put it on hold.
