U.K isn't the problem IIRC. It's Ireland. They do well with low corporate tax rates and without them, they may be less attractive in comparison to London or other British cities. Especially given the housing and even hotel situation in Dublin.

Re: President Joe Biden’s first 100 days in office
The world should wave two fingers to the US. It's a proposal totally for their own benefit.

Hard to "wave two fingers" at the world's largest economy, which is over seven times the size of the UK's.

Yeah - quite easy. He needs to be challenged robustly.

That’s a "no", then…
I was serious - the USA is the world’s largest economy, and the home to most of the big Tech & Finance companies; what could we do to them that could not lead to a negative backlash?

Difficult to know when you're being serious or just contrary.
Tax their digital companies.

Sunak ‘confident’ of reaching tech tax agreement
Chancellor Rishi Sunak says he is "confident" of reaching a global agreement on digital taxation ahead of a meeting of world finance leaders.
Tax on big tech and multi-nationals has been a source of friction between the US and countries including the UK.
The US announced sanctions this week but immediately suspended them to give more time for talks.
Finance minsters will also discuss climate change at the two day meeting which starts in London on Friday.
Ahead of the G7 talks, starting in London on Friday, finance ministers from Germany, France, Italy and Spain co-signed a letter urging an agreement on an international tax system "fit for the 21st Century".

We just tell them that we are ending our special relationship.
That should do it.

Re: President Joe Biden’s first 100 days in office

Quote from The Hill: Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Texas), who stirred controversy as former President Trump’s White House physician, said Thursday he is circulating a letter among House GOP colleagues that calls on President Biden to take a cognitive test to prove he is mentally fit to be commander in chief.
Jackson began collecting signatures for his letter this week during GOP meetings and House votes.
After this story was published, Jackson tweeted that he sent the letter to Biden; Biden's physician, Kevin O'Connor; and Anthony Fauci, chief medical adviser to the president.
Given the precedent set and President Biden’s CLEAR mental struggles, I believe it’s past time he take a cognitive test.
I sent a letter to him saying just that! ⬇️https://t.co/6RCKj7pFYd
— Ronny Jackson (@RepRonnyJackson) June 17, 2021
Thirteen other Republicans joined Jackson in signing the letter.
“Just everything that has been going on for the last year and a half … [Biden] doesn't know what's going on, where he's at. He's very confused all the time,” Jackson said in a brief interview with The Hill.
Jackson, who served as White House physician for both former Presidents Obama and Trump, has never treated or evaluated Biden, but he’s been attacking Biden’s cognitive abilities since last year’s presidential campaign.

There's been plenty of examples of his "senior moments", so it's a valid question. Although they might want to be careful of what they wish for.

Re: President Joe Biden’s first 100 days in office
Biden is in Cognitive Decline.
Just look at the Gas price rises in America. Republicans are going to do well in the Mid terms - Democrats just don't know how to govern properly, high taxes, high crime guaranteed under Democrat rule - just look at New York City crime statistics.
