City of London accuses France of plot to ‘wreck Britain’

A leaked memo (pictured inset) says that French bankers and politicians are plotting to 'actively disrupt' the City of London business, which is worth £66 billion a year in tax revenue to the Treasury. The 'giddy' effect of newly elected President Emmanuel Macron (pictured) has encouraged French bankers and politicians to declare 'open war' on the square mile, and French representatives are now offering firms in the UK big money to move their business to Paris. The memo was written after the City of London's Brexit envoy - former Home Office Minister Jeremy Browne - held talks in Paris earlier this month at the French finance ministry, state-owned Banque de France, the French Senate and the British Embassy. He met banking chiefs, senior politicians and diplomats.

The US President reportedly fears that he will be greeted by thronging crowds of protesters when he comes to Britain on a state visit so has privately lobbied Theresa May about 'negative coverage'.

The REAL star of Wimbledon! Forget Garbine smashing Venus (and even the Royal Box stars) - tubby tennis heckler who took on Grand Slam legend wearing one of her own skirts raises roof

A portly tennis fan (centre) was invited to face the serve of former World Number 1 Kim Clijsters after he shouted advice to her during a friendly Wimbledon doubles match. Instead of ignoring serve instructions from the rowdy Chris Quinn, a father-of-three from Wicklow in Ireland, Clijsters grabbed the man from the stands and took him court-side to see if he could do better. In keeping with the Wimbledon rule that every players has to wear all white, Clijsters quickly went into her bag and fetched a spare skirt so Quinn could cover his blue shorts and partake in the action. A host of glittering celebrities including Poldark actors Aidan Turner (top left) and Eleanor Tomlinson (bottom left) watched the Wimbledon women's final between Venus Williams (right) and Garbine Muguruza (right and inset).
