• Robin Hood Tax gains momentum on the continent | Left Foot Forward Unites Tony Burke reports on union pressure for a Robin Hood Tax in Germany: highlighting a joint press conference by DGB President Michael Sommer and German Chancellor Angela Merkel. David Cameron maintains that a European FTT would uniquely disadvantage the UK, but Germany has the second-biggest financial transactions market in the EU, so Germany would if Cameron was right also be a net loser.
