The finance director of EG Group recently considered quitting the Issa brothers' rapidly expanding petrol station empire, which is battling to shake off concerns over corporate governance as the Issas prepare to acquire Asda. Multiple sources said that Michael Hughes, 51, had planned to resign and take up a post at a different company at the end of the year.

Emmanuel Macron has vowed to scupper any Brexit deal that "sacrifices" French fishermen, but faces a growing swell of pressure from Germany and other EU states to accept less access to British waters. The French president's hard line on fishing rights is one of the last remaining obstacles to an agreement. But with just a year and a half to go before national elections, being seen as the defender of France's coastal communities could prove a valuable campaign asset for Mr Macron. - Sunday Telegraph
