4. Tesla shares have fallen by 4.9% after Twitter users voted in favour of boss Elon Musk selling 10% of his stake in the carmaker in order to pay tax.

3. The boss of health and beauty firm THG has hinted he may take the company private, a little over a year since it floated on the London Stock Exchange.
