The Duke of Westminster’s property empire was lossmaking last year, although the King’s godson and his family still received more than £50 million in dividends.

Grosvenor Group, which runs a multibillion-pound portfolio of assets including its 300-acre estate in the West End of London, suffered a loss of £28.6 million in 2023, having made a profit of £110.4 million in the previous year.

Higher interest rates have dented commercial property values worldwide and the valuation of Grosvenor’s portfolio, including buildings that it manages for others, declined by £400 million to £8.6 billion. That was “more resilient” than bosses had expected, however.

In Britain, which makes up just over half of the vast portfolio, rises in the value of its central London flats were offset

Telegraph up for sale after takeover collapses - BBC

The Daily and Sunday Telegraph newspapers are back up for sale after an Abu Dhabi-backed bid to take them over collapsed.

The ownership of the papers was set to be transferred to the Gulf-backed RedBird IMI consortium before the government intervened in January.

Legislation has since been put forward to ban foreign states from owning UK newspapers and news magazines.

RedBird said it would halt the takeover and put the media firm up for sale.

The investment firm said its plans were "no longer feasible", adding it would now look to secure the "best value" for the titles, which include the Spectator magazine.

"We have held constructive conversations with the government about ensuring a smooth and orderly sale for both titles," it said in a statement.

The Abu-Dhabi-backed deal for the Telegraph was largely funded by Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed bin Sultan al-Nahyan, the owner of Manchester City Football Club and vice-president and deputy prime minister of the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

But concerns were raised by MPs and some of the newspaper's current and former journalists, as well as readers, that the title might fall under control of an authoritarian foreign state.

In January, the government intervened to scrutinise the deal and announced last month that foreign governments would be banned from owning UK newspapers and news magazines.

The government said the legislation would "deliver additional protections for a free press".

On Tuesday, RedBird said the consortium's ownership would have seen the "the strongest editorial protections ever put forward for a UK newspaper, along with much-needed investment."

But it added: "Under the legislation's definition of foreign power, it will not be possible for RedBird IMI to proceed with its proposed takeover of the Telegraph and Spectator."

The group said its independent directors appointed to run the Telegraph and the Spectator last summer would remain in place until the sale process is completed.

Culture Secretary Lucy Frazer said she had "raised concerns about the potential impact of this deal on free expression and accurate presentation of news".

Ms Fraser added she would "allow the parties to conduct an orderly transition".

The Telegraph and the Spectator magazine were put up for sale last year when they were seized by Lloyds Banking Group from long-time owners the Barclay family, which had failed to pay back a loan of more than £1bn.

Lloyds commenced an auction process, but at the last minute, the Barclay family paid off their debt with money lent by Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed al-Nahyan, and in return, the Barclay family agreed to transfer ownership to the Gulf-backed consortium.

RedBird said on Tuesday that it held £600m of debt in the titles.

Gulf states have been very significant investors in the UK in recent years. UAE-based investors have poured billions into ports, housing projects, windfarms and science parks and are being courted for an investment in a new nuclear power plant at Sizewell in Suffolk.

Previous bidders for the Telegraph included hedge fund tycoon Sir Paul Marshall who owns GB News, Daily Mail owners DMGT and Rupert Murdoch's News UK.

Telegraph put up for sale after ownership battle with government - Sky News

An Abu Dhabi-backed fund has conceded defeat in its bid to buy The Daily Telegraph after its ownership was effectively blocked by the government.

RedBird IMI announced it had placed The Telegraph and The Spectator titles up for sale, declaring that its ownership was "no longer feasible".

The move was confirmed after ministers revealed plans last month to outlaw foreign state ownership of UK newspapers.

Money latest: State pensions 'could be in doubt for future generations'

The gulf state-backed fund, backed by the UAE's deputy prime minister and ultimate owner of Manchester City Football Club, Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed al Nahyan, had reached a deal with previous Telegraph owners the Barclay family in December last year to take control of the group.

That took place through the paying off of debts owed to the family's bank, Lloyds.

But the move sparked investigations by the Competition and Markets Authority and the media regulator and culminated in the government all but pulling the plug through an amendment to the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Bill.

More from Business

A statement read: "RedBird IMI has today confirmed that it intends to withdraw from its proposed acquisition of the Telegraph Media Group and proceed with a sale.

"We continue to believe this approach would have benefited the Telegraph and Spectator's readers, their journalists and the UK media landscape more widely.

"Regrettably, it is clear this approach is no longer feasible."

Sky News revealed earlier this month that RedBird IMI had been in talks with Whitehall officials over the structure of the onward sale.

Those discussions included the possibility of the Telegraph titles and The Spectator being sold separately.

RedBird said on Tuesday that it retained control over the auction process ahead and that the potential for a split would depend on the bids it received.

It also confirmed a separate story by Sky News that Raine Group, best-known in Britain for its roles in recent deals involving Manchester United and Chelsea football clubs, and Robey Warshaw had been lined up to advise the fund on the way forward.

Possible bidders for the Telegraph Media Group include the Daily Mail proprietor Lord Rothermere and the GB News shareholder Sir Paul Marshall.

Each has shown interest in owning the titles.

Culture Secretary Lucy Frazer said of RedBird's announcement: "Throughout this process I have raised concerns about the potential impact of this deal on free expression and accurate presentation of news, and I took steps to ensure that media freedom was protected while there was an investigation into those concerns.

"I will now allow the parties to conduct an orderly transition and I will monitor the outcome with a view to taking any further regulatory action as required under the Enterprise Act.

"The free press is a cornerstone of our democracy and we cannot take it for granted. That is why I used my powers as Culture Secretary to investigate this deal.

"More widely, it is why we are banning any ownership, influence or control by foreign states of our newspapers and news magazines.

"We are acting to ensure that we retain the ability to step in where necessary to protect the integrity and independence of these publications, given the unique role they play in our democracy."

Inflation in UK shops slows amid price cuts on clothes and shoes - The Guardian

Prices in UK shops rose at their slowest rate since late 2021 in April as deep discounts by clothing and footwear retailers put the brakes on inflation, the latest snapshot of high street spending trends has shown.

The monthly bulletin from the British Retail Consortium (BRC) – the lobby group for the industry – found that the battle by store owners to offload summer stock in cold and wet weather meant prices in non-food stores were lower this month than a year earlier.

The BRC said the cost of non-food goods fell at an annual rate of 0.6% in April, while the price of food increased by 3.4%, down from 3.7% in March. Taken together, food and non-food inflation stood at 0.8% in April, compared to 1.3% in the year to March – the lowest level since December 2021.

Data for the BRC’s shop price bulletin was collected early in the month and points to another fall in the official inflation figure for April when it is released next month.

Inflation peaked at 11.1% in October 2022 – the highest level in four decades – but has since been on a downward trend. In the year to March, the Office for National Statistics said prices rose by 3.2%, but the Bank of England expects lower energy bills to bring the annual inflation rate down to about 2% in April.

Despite the easing of cost-of-living pressures, food prices are 25% higher than they were when Russia invaded Ukraine just over two years ago, while prices overall have increased by 14%.

Helen Dickinson, the BRC chief executive, said shop price inflation levels were showing signs of normalising.

She added: “Both food and non-food have seen shop inflation rates ease to more manageable levels. In April, non-food prices fell, especially in clothing and footwear, where retailers ramped up promotions to encourage consumer spend.

“Food inflation slowed for the 12th consecutive month as fresh products, such as butter, fish and fruits, continued to fall in price due to easing input costs and intense competition between grocers.”

Amid warnings from farmers that months of wet weather could lead to food shortages and higher prices, Dickinson said geo-political tension also posed a threat to price stability.

“Retailers will continue to do all they can to keep prices down, but government has a role to play with pro-growth policies that allow businesses to invest in the customer offer,” she added.

HSBC chief executive Noel Quinn unexpectedly steps down - BBC.com

HSBC chief executive unexpectedly steps down

HSBC CEO Noel Quinn.
Noel Quinn has led the banking giant for nearly five years

HSBC's group chief executive Noel Quinn is unexpectedly retiring after nearly five years in the role.

Europe's largest bank says it is in the process of finding a successor for 62-year-old Mr Quinn, who will stay in the role until a new chief executive is named. HSBC is considering candidates from both inside and outside the firm.

It comes as the UK-based lender reported a 1.8% drop in profit for the first three months of 2024, compared to the same time last year.

The company said that its pre-tax profit for the period came in at $12.7bn (£10bn), which was a little better than expected by market analysts.

"After an intense five years, it is now the right time for me to get a better balance between my personal and business life,” Mr Quinn said.

Mr Quinn, who has worked at HSBC for 37 years, was first appointed as its chief executive on an interim basis in 2019, after his predecessor John Flint was ousted from the role.

In March 2020, he took the reins of HSBC on a permanent basis.

"[Mr Quinn] has driven both our transformation strategy and created a simpler, more focused business that delivers higher returns," HSBC's chairman Mark Tucker said.

Along with its quarterly results, the bank announced an interim payout to investors of $0.10 per share and said it would buy back up to $3bn of its shares.

HSBC recently completed the sale of its operations in Canada and announced plans to do the same with its business in Argentina.

The sales are part of efforts by the London-based bank to focus more on faster-growing markets in Asia.

Shanti Kelemen, chief investment office at M&G Wealth, told the BBC's Today programme that it "has probably been a very intense five years" and that Mr Quinn "has had a very long career".

She said that Mr Quinn had changed the shape of the bank during his time at the top, by such actions as selling HSBC's Argentina business, leaving Canada, and stepping up Asia operations.

"What he's done will probably reverberate and determine the path of their success for certainly several years to come," she added.

‘Watershed moment’ for Tesla as Elon Musk’s visit to China reaps quick reward - The Guardian

Elon Musk’s visit to China has reportedly reaped immediate rewards with a deal for Tesla to use mapping data provided by web search company Baidu, a major step in introducing driver assistance technology in the world’s largest car market.

Musk made an unannounced visit to China over the weekend. The billionaire posted a picture of his meeting with the Chinese premier, Li Qiang, on X, the social network he took over in 2022.

Baidu, which dominates web search in China, will provide mapping and navigation functions to help Tesla operate its driver assistance technology, which it calls “full self-driving”, or FSD, according to sources cited by Bloomberg News. Mapping services – crucial to driver assistance technologies – are strictly controlled by China’s government.

Despite its name, FSD does not provide autonomous driving abilities: it requires a driver who has “hands on the wheel and is prepared to take over at any moment”. However, launching it in China could help Tesla in the fierce competition for market share in the country, and provide more income. It costs $8,000, or $99 (£80) a month, although it is not available in many countries.

Musk is often combative in his dealings with politicians, such as strident criticism of US President Joe Biden, or a standoff in Brazil against a government he claims is censoring X, formerly known as Twitter. However, he adopted a more emollient tone towards China’s second most powerful politician, saying he was “honoured” to meet Li.

Musk has a tangled relationship with China because of his various business interests. X is blocked by China’s government – which has rigid censorship. China’s government has also complained to the UN about close encounters between its space station and satellites launched by SpaceX, Musk’s rocket company.

However, Tesla runs a factory in Shanghai, and its Model Y was the third bestselling electric or plug-in hybrid car in China in March 2024, according to Clean Technica. BYD, a Chinese manufacturer that vies with Tesla to be the world’s biggest seller of electric cars, boasts the two top-selling models.

The visit and report of the Baidu deal was greeted with excitement by Tesla investors, many of whom are counting on potential autonomous driving abilities to justify Tesla’s position as the world’s most valuable carmaker. Tesla’s share price rose by 6% in trading before the New York markets opened.

Dan Ives, a tech analyst at Wedbush, an investment bank, wrote in a note to clients: “This is a watershed moment for Musk as well as Beijing at a time that Tesla has faced massive domestic EV competition in China along with softer demand. While the long-term valuation story at Tesla hinges on FSD and autonomous, a key missing piece in that puzzle is Tesla making FSD available in China which now appears on the doorstep.”

UK wet weather could push up price of bread, beer and biscuits - Sky News

The cost of bread, biscuits and beer could increase this year due to the impact of the unusually wet autumn and winter on UK harvests.

Research suggests that production of wheat, oats, barley and oilseed rape could drop by four million tonnes (17.5%) compared with 2023.

The wet weather has resulted in lower levels of planting, while flooding and storms over winter caused farmers more losses.

The predictions come just as the rate of price increases on many food items begins to slow as inflation falls.

Money latest: 'Fundamental change to UK food supply' as new Brexit rules begin

The Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit (ECIU) analysed forecasts from the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHBD) and government yield data.

It found a "real risk" of beer, biscuits and bread becoming more expensive if the poor harvest increases costs for producers, according to its lead analyst Tom Lancaster.

Beer prices could be affected because the wet weather is still disrupting the planting of spring crops such as barley, the ECIU said.

And potatoes might also see a price hike in the coming months, with growers warning of a major shortage in the autumn due to persistent wet weather.

Planting of this year's potato crop has been delayed across much of northern Europe.

"It's had a massive impact on us," said Lincolnshire farmer Colin Chappell.

"We went through the winter with virtually nothing viable drilled, and while it's now dry enough to plant some fields some of them are so bad I don't think they'll get drilled this year. The situation is very hit and miss."

The National Farmers' Union (NFU) said recently that extreme weather was one of the biggest dangers to UK food security.

Warmer and wetter winters similar are predicted to become more common as the climate warms.

Drop in production could be more than five million tonnes

The total drop in production could even be more than five million tonnes (21.2%) when compared with the average harvest for 2015-2023.

Wheat production could be particularly hard hit, according to the research, with an estimated fall of 26.5% compared with last year.

It's because the milling wheat used for bread has higher quality requirements that will be harder for farmers to achieve with wet weather.

The owner of Kingsmill and Ryvita, Associated British Foods, warned last week of potential price hikes if the cost of grains in the UK aren't offset by bigger harvests abroad.

The ECIU's Tom Lancaster said the government's green farming schemes are vital in "helping farmers to invest in their soils to allow them to recover faster from both floods and droughts".

With half of food coming from abroad, he said foreign farmers would also need support.

"Moving faster to net zero emissions is the only guaranteed way to limit these impacts and maintain our food security," he added.

William Kendall, the farmer behind Green & Blacks chocolate, said "regenerative farming methods" were also important as they "greatly enhance the soil's capacity to hold water and therefore prevent saturation".

"Not only does this mean better crops, produced at a lower cost for the farmer," he said, "but it ensures that the chances of the flash flooding downstream we have seen this winter are greatly diminished".

Elon Musk meets China’s No 2 official in Beijing - Al Jazeera English

Tesla CEO’s unannounced visits comes as Chinese carmakers are promoting rival models at the Beijing Motor Show.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has met China’s number two official on an unannounced visit to Beijing.

Musk’s meeting with Premier Li Qiang came as Chinese carmakers promoted their latest electric vehicles at the Beijing Motor Show, taking place from April 25 to May 5.

During their meeting on Sunday, Li told Musk that he hoped the United States would engage with China on “win-win” cooperation, citing Tesla’s operations in the country as a successful example of working together, Chinese state media reported.

“China’s very large-scale market will always be open to foreign-funded firms,” Li was quoted as saying.

“China will stick to its word and will continue working hard to expand market access and strengthen service guarantees.”

Musk said in a post on X that he was “honoured” to meet the number two official.

During Musk’s visit, Tesla reached an agreement with Chinese tech giant Baidu to use its mapping licence for data collection on China’s public roads, clearing a key regulatory hurdle to the rollout of self-driving software in the country, the Reuters news agency reported on Monday, citing two sources familiar with the deal.

Musk’s plane departed from China en route to Anchorage, Alaska on Monday afternoon, according to Chinese flight tracking app Flight Manager.

The billionaire entrepreneur’s trip came about a week after he cancelled a scheduled visit to India to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi due to “very heavy Tesla obligations”.

Tesla operates its biggest manufacturing plant outside the US in Shanghai, where about half of its vehicles are produced.

The electric car maker has been struggling with sluggish sales, in part due to fierce competition from Chinese brands.

Tesla’s vehicle deliveries fell by 8.5 percent in the first quarter, contributing to a 40 percent slide in its stock price since July.

The company last week reported profits of $1.1bn in the first quarter, down from $2.51bn a year ago.

Musk earlier this month told staff in a memo that the company would lay off more than 10 percent of its global workforce so that it would be “lean, innovative and hungry for the next growth phase cycle”.

Chinese auto giant BYD dethroned Tesla as the world’s biggest electric vehicle maker in the last three months of 2023, although the Austin, Texas-based company reclaimed the title in the first quarter of this year.

Musk has made multiple trips to China in recent years, wrapping up his most recent visit in June last year.

'Admin' and '12345' banned from being used as passwords in UK crackdown on cyber attacks - Sky News

Common and easily guessed passwords like 'admin' or '12345' are being banned in the UK as part of world-first laws to protect against cyber attacks.

As well as default passwords, if a user suggests a common password they will be prompted to change it on creation of a new account.

It comes as a home filled with smart devices could be exposed to more than 12,000 hacking attacks from across the world in a single week, with 2,684 attempts to guess weak passwords on five devices, according to an investigation by Which?

Password managing website NordPass found the most commonly used passwords in the UK last year were 123456 and, believe it or not, password.

The new measures come into force in the UK on Monday, making it the first country in the world to introduce the laws.

They are part of the Product Security and Telecommunications Infrastructure (PSTI) regime - designed to improve the UK's resilience from cyber attacks and ensure malign interference does not impact the wider UK and global economy.

Under the law, manufacturers of all internet-connected devices - from mobile phones, smart doorbells and even high-tech fridges - will be required to implement minimum security standards.

They will also have to publish contact details so bugs and issues can be reported and resolved and tell consumers the minimum time they can expect to receive important security updates.

UK's 10 most commonly used passwords in 2023

"As everyday life becomes increasingly dependent on connected devices, the threats generated by the internet multiply and become even greater," Science and Technology Minister Viscount Camrose said.

"From today, consumers will have greater peace of mind that their smart devices are protected from cyber criminals... We are committed to making the UK the safest place in the world to be online and these new regulations mark a significant leap towards a more secure digital world."

According to recent figures, 99% of UK adults own at least one smart device and UK households own an average of nine connected devices.

Average cost of UK car insurance rises by one-third in a year, analysis finds - The Guardian

The average price paid for comprehensive motor insurance in the UK was about a third (33%) or £157 higher in the first quarter of this year than a year earlier, according to figures from the Association of British Insurers (ABI).

Based on analysis of policies sold, the typical price paid in the first quarter of 2024 was £635, marking a 1% increase on the previous quarter, the ABI said.

In the first quarter of 2023, the average premium paid for private comprehensive motor insurance was £478.

The ABI said the 1% quarterly increase indicated an easing of the rises seen in 2023.

It said insurers were continuing to absorb growing costs, with the average claim paid rising 8% to reach a record of £4,800 over the same period.

Claims inflation has yet to stabilise, with the costs of repairs, replacement vehicles and theft all rising, the ABI said.

The ABI’s motor insurance tracker analyses nearly 28m policies sold a year, and the claims paid against policies.

The association has previously cited costs such as energy inflation, rising prices for paint and other raw materials, rising courtesy-car costs and the increased cost of secondhand cars as adding to overall cost pressures.

Over the longer term, motor insurance has tracked very close to inflation, the association said.

In real terms, prices are £8 or 1.3% higher when compared with a peak at the end of 2017, according to the ABI. This is partly because prices fell significantly during the coronavirus pandemic, it said.

It added that 2023 was a “difficult year” for motor insurance margins, and that costs for insurers to pay claims have increased by 23% in real terms since 2017.

Mervyn Skeet, the ABI’s director of general insurance policy, said: “We understand that car insurance costs are putting pressure on household finances. These figures show how competitive the motor market is, with insurers absorbing significant cost rises but keeping prices relatively stable.

“Even though these figures demonstrate a slowdown in price increases, we won’t be taking our foot off the gas when it comes to our work on tackling the cost of cover.”

In February the ABI set out steps that the industry is taking to combat the rise in the cost of motor insurance. Last week it announced that its members had agreed measures aimed at helping manage the costs for people paying for insurance on a monthly basis.

The association said it recommended that people struggling with the cost of their cover speak to their insurer.

Earlier in April, the Treasury select committee member Dame Angela Eagle told a hearing on insurance: “My constituents and many people who write to the committee feel that insurance is becoming more of a rip-off.

“Because the price is going up, it’s harder to make a claim; people, when they do make a claim, often have to wait a very long time or aren’t dealt with very fairly.

“And that’s particularly the case for insurance that’s compulsory, such as driving insurance.”

In another Treasury select committee session later that day, Charlotte Clark, the ABI’s director of regulation, said part of the reason that rises in motor insurance might look so significant was that “it’s coming off the back of the pandemic, where motor insurance in particular was reduced quite significantly, because the risks of being in a car accident when you’re at home are quite low”.

Matt Brewis, the director of insurance at the Financial Conduct Authority, told the committee the regulator had been looking at evidence of how inflation had affected the motor sector.

He said the regulator was meeting with price comparison websites, brokers and consumers “to understand the concerns of consumers and where they are seeing issues”.

Western banks pay €800m in tax to Putin's regime - latest updates - The Telegraph

The largest western banks that are still operating in Russia paid more than €800m (£684m) in taxes to the Kremlin last year in an illustration of how financial institutions are funding his war in Ukraine.

The seven top European banks by assets in Russia reported a combined profit of more than €3bn (£2.6bn) in 2023, which was three times more than in 2021.

The earnings of Raiffeisen Bank International, UniCredit, ING, Commerzbank, Deutsche Bank, Intesa Sanpaolo and OTP were partly generated by funds that the banks could not withdraw from Russia.

Their jump in profitability meant that the European banks paid about $800m in tax to Moscow, up from €200m in 2021, according to analysis by the Financial Times.

Vladimir Putin has been seeking ways to support his war economy, including reducing output of Russian oil in an attempt to help increase price.

Union appears to accept Royal Mail proposal to cut most Saturday deliveries - The Guardian

Letterboxes could fall silent on Saturday mornings, after the postal workers’ union appeared to accept a proposal from Royal Mail that would abandon its duty to deliver all letters six days a week.

Royal Mail is required to deliver post from Monday to Saturday under the terms of the universal service obligation (USO) set down by an act of parliament in 2011. Amid a long-running industrial dispute with the financially struggling company, the Communication Workers Union (CWU) has so far opposed a £300m cost-cutting blueprint that would include scrapping most Saturday services.

But the union appeared to concede last week that a complete six-day service is unaffordable. The change of heart comes as the 500-year-old company battles a £3.1bn takeover bid from its largest shareholder, the Czech billionaire Daniel KÅ™etínský.

Speaking at the CWU’s annual conference in Bournemouth last week, the union’s deputy general secretary, Martin Walsh, said: “The reality is, the USO as a six-day option is no longer financially viable. The challenges we face are so significant – probably the most challenging time in this union’s history, whether it’s the USO change, sale or possible takeover.”

Royal Mail reported a £1bn loss last year, with bosses blaming strike action by CWU members and a failure to increase productivity for its poor performance during a year in which it cut 10,000 jobs. It also said that fewer deliveries were required because the volume of letters sent has fallen from 20bn in 2004-05 to 7bn last year.

Union sources told the Times that accepting changes to the six-day service did not mean a complete end to Saturday post because first-class mail would still be delivered. However, first-class stamp prices are not capped, meaning the company could increase prices steeply to reduce the number of Saturday deliveries it is required to make.

Daniel Křetínský speaks at a conference in Prague: he wears a dark blue suit, white shirt and pale blue tie, and black-rimmed glasses; he is holding his hands together and speaking into a small headset microphone

Royal Mail’s plans could see second-class deliveries reduced to every other day, with reductions achieved partly by slowing down bulk deliveries for government departments and businesses from two days to three days. Such a change would reduce the number of postal rounds by 9,000 a day.

But it must first persuade ministers and the media regulator, Ofcom, to accept its proposals. Ofcom has yet to respond, while Kevin Hollinrake, the government minister for postal affairs, has not given his blessing. “There is no done deal here and, as far as we are concerned, the USO remains and we are not aware of any recommendations [by Ofcom] to change it,” he told the Times.

But any accord between Royal Mail and its union – which represents 110,000 postal workers – could smooth the way for government approval, especially after a prolonged period of bitter industrial action, including several strikes.

KÅ™etínský, who is estimated to be worth £7.3bn, launched a £3.1bn takeover bid for Royal Mail’s parent company, International Distribution Services (IDS), earlier this month.

The 320p a share offer is far below the peak of nearly 580p that the company reached in summer 2021, and has been rejected by IDS.

Success would see KÅ™etínský add Royal Mail to a business empire that was built on energy assets but also includes stakes in Sainsbury’s and West Ham United FC. The investor, known as the “Czech Sphinx” due to his inscrutable demeanour, has until 15 May to improve his offer.

KÅ™etínský is being advised on his attempt to take over Royal Mail by JP Morgan’s Chuka Umunna, the former shadow business secretary – who became a rising star during his time on the Treasury select committee, when he criticised highly paid bankers.

FTSE 100 chiefs claim they are hard-up compared with the States. But our analysis suggests a very different st - This is Money

A tale of a chief executive about to join a high-profile British company has gone down in City folklore. 

Before taking the reins, a trusted advisor asks him the rather awkward question of how much he thought he should be paid.

'How much do you think I can get away with?' came the haughty reply.

It's an intriguing insight into the entitled, self-serving mindset that still prevails in some of Britain's boardrooms, despite decades of efforts by campaigners to curb 'fat cat' pay and a cost-of-living squeeze that has hit households. 

The number of leading companies pushing for pay rises for their leaders has jumped even after they trousered an average of £4.5 million, a recent study revealed.

The analysis by business consultancy Deloitte found that 16 FTSE 100 companies are looking to revamp their pay policies – with nine of them having 'radical' plans to boost their boss's pay this year, compared to four previously.

'Many of these companies have a significant US footprint and cite the disparity in pay levels between the UK and US as a challenge when competing for and retaining senior talent in a global marketplace,' said Deloitte partner Mitul Shah.

But are British-based bosses really underpaid? And is there any evidence that more lucrative deals on offer across the Atlantic are causing an executive exodus of top talent?

To find out, The Mail on Sunday compared the pay of chief executives from leading firms on both sides of the pond. 

We found that US bosses generally earn more than their British counterparts but the gap is not always that big, especially when stock market valuations are considered.

Charles Woodburn at BAE Systems took home £13.5 million last year – nearly £5 million less that the boss of Lockheed Martin. But the US defence contractor is worth more than twice as much as BAE based on their respective share prices.

The same is true in the oil and gas sector where Shell's Wael Sawan recently joined the growing chorus of bosses threatening to up sticks and leave London. He and BP's Murray Auchincloss would appear to be paid a pittance compared to their peers at Exxon and Chevron – until you realise that investors value shares in the US energy giants much more.

Pascal Soriot, chief executive of pharmaceuticals giant AstraZeneca, once complained that he was 'the lowest-paid chief executive in the whole industry'.

He has been playing catch-up ever since and is now Britain's highest paid boss, earning £16.9 million last year. Soriot still lags the likes of his US counterpart at Eli Lilly but a recent analysis by the Financial Times put him in the middle of the pack of 'Big Pharma' pay. That may explain why more than a third of AZ's shareholders this month opposed plans to give him a bumper pay rise.

Experts say pay disparities exist because US bosses are rewarded much more in shares than salary, but that comes with risks.

'The danger of packages which focus too heavily on share price performance is that they can lead to short-term thinking,' says Russ Mould of investment firm AJ Bell.

The average tenure of a FTSE 100 boss is just over five years, he notes. 

'It is not hard to cut costs or make an acquisition to boost short-term income – and perhaps the share price,' he adds. Another reason that American bosses are paid more might be because they are better managers.

Among those leading calls to pay bosses more is Rupert Soames, president of the Confederation of British Industry lobby group.

He has dubbed many companies in the FTSE 100 'Brilos' – 'British in Listing Only' – because most of their revenues come from overseas. As chairman of Smith & Nephew, Soames is busy urging shareholders to give chief executive Deepak Nath a huge pay rise at the medical equipment group's annual meeting this week.

GSK boss: Emma Walmsley

It is true that Nath earns a lot less than his peer at Stryker. But that may be because investors rate the US rival more highly, giving it a stock market price tag more than ten times that of Smith & Nephew.

Also on the warpath is Julia Hoggett. The London Stock Exchange chief executive has warned that a 'lack of a level playing field' is driving a brain drain from the City to New York and beyond. Another showdown occurred earlier this week when investors backed plans to more than double the pay of her boss, David Schwimmer, to £13.2 million.

That has put him on a par with Jeffrey Sprecher, who runs the New York Stock Exchange owner Intercontinental Exchange.

Companies such as chipmaker Arm Holdings, plumbing giant Ferguson and Tarmac-owner CRH already have moved their main listing to Wall Street.

Executive pay is higher in the US – but so too is pay inequality. Whereas the typical FTSE 100 boss earns 109 times more than an employee's average pay, the ratio in the US for the top 500 firms is 272 times.

But it is often forgotten that US bosses also wield much more power in the boardroom than their UK peers. They usually combine the role of chief executive and chairman – something frowned upon here. There is also scant evidence of an active transfer market in disgruntled UK executives heading west for big bucks.

Perhaps the most successful British-born executive in the US is Jane Fraser but she rose through the ranks before taking over at investment bank Citigroup.

It is also significant that the list of highest-paid bosses of British companies is dominated by foreigners. That suggests London is still a magnet for attracting and retaining footloose global executives – whatever the pay.

On that measure at least, reports of the City's demise as a leading financial centre look premature.
