Brussels is planning to call for the power to borrow as much as €750bn on the markets to bankroll efforts to rebuild after the coronavirus crisis. €500bn of grants, €250bn of loans. ,https://t.co/HTm6SuRoqf via @financialtimes

— Sam Fleming (FT) (@Sam1Fleming) May 27, 2020

Commission to apparently propose €500bn in grants and €250bn in loans. A sensible package, although it leaves little room to be negotiated down. Now up to the frugals to include some conditionality and then sign on the dotted line. https://t.co/qKooZPX7DF via @business

— Pepijn Bergsen (@pbergsen) May 27, 2020

2. 2.3 million claims for self-employed grants made.

5. The FT publish a fascinating piece asking how AstraZeneca made it to the top of the UK pharma pile.

A great read on a big pharma biz which was inches away from being taken over by Pfizer in 2014 and now is the biggest company by market cap in the FTSE 100.

6. Finally, following his resignation, The Times takes a look at Andy Palmer’s embattled time at Aston Martin.

After £4.3 billion of value destruction, Aston Martin’s Andy Palmer had to go. My col, also on Stelios’s maths and other problems at Easyjet, plus Derby falling behind in the “levelling up” stakes. https://t.co/2Uk3uOR5KK
