Snub
Blow for Reeves as rich flee UK and she gets snub for Davos slot
A record total of millionaires have reportedly quit the UK since Labour won power over its plans to replace the ‘non-dom’ tax regime.
‘Non-doms’, whose permanent home is abroad, may only pay tax here on money earned in the UK.
The Mail on Sunday can also reveal that Ms Reeves has not got a main speaking slot at the prestigious World Economic Forum which opens tomorrow in Davos, Switzerland.
Not one member of Sir Keir Starmer’s Cabinet is included on the agenda for the five-day event.
Does this mean that nobody is interested in what Rachel from Accounts can do for growth? I hope she doesn't take it out on the rest of us and introduce more turbocharged growth schemes.

The World Economic Forum may, or may not, be many things. But they can detect someone who would damage their image of competence.
Bit like an actor not even being nominated for an Oscar.
That's a real shame. Because when Starmer was asked last year whether he preferred Davos or Westminster, he unhesitatingly replied "Davos".
Perhaps he didn't know that there's a rule about keeping your allegiance secret. If you talk about sleeping with the Head Girl at school, she drops you.
I don't think that Rachel from Accounts is interested in doing anything for growth. I hear what she says. I believe what she does.
DJ - for Rachel it must be a clue that she can't even act the part.
Sam - that Davos preference was a giveaway. He doesn't realise how little he has to contribute even to Davos.
decnine - I don't think she knows what growth would look like in the wider economy, where it would come from, who would generate it. Growth is just a party political word she uses because Starmer uses it.
