ALEX BRUMMER:?Rupert Murdoch's 退職 is a signal moment

By Alex Brummer for the Daily Mail

Updated:

The 出発 of Rupert Murdoch from his two 核心 マスコミ groups Fox in the US and News Corp is a signal moment.

There is to be no succession struggle for the time 存在, with eldest son Lachlan taking the 舵輪／支配.

But with three other siblings having 投票（する）ing 在庫／株 in a Nevada-based family 信用, an 結局の challenge cannot be 支配するd out.

The 規模 of the empire is much 減らすd. Murdoch 完全にするd one of the 取引，協定s of this century when he sold most of US entertainment empire to Disney in what was 法案d as a $71.3billion (£57.5billion) 取引，協定 in 2019.?

It was a 最高の，を越す-of-the-market 処理／取引 and Disney has struggled ever since to make it work まっただ中に a 沈下するing 株 price and the return of 長，指導者 (n)役員／(a)執行力のある （頭が）ひょいと動く Iger.

Stepping down: Media mogul Rupert Murdoch is retiring?after 70 years - with second son Lachlan to take over the family dynasty

Stepping 負かす／撃墜する: マスコミ mogul Rupert Murdoch is retiring?after 70 years - with second son Lachlan to take over the family 王朝

The other クーデター was the sale of Britain’s Sky to American cable 巨大（な） Comcast for $39billion (£31.5billion) a year earlier .

Murdoch’s 乗り気 to take 勇敢に立ち向かう, far reaching 決定／判定勝ち（する）s in a 急速な／放蕩な changing world of マスコミ and communications 大部分は went unsung. Instead, he is often cast in the マスコミ as an evil genius with too much political 力／強力にする.

The 残余 of Rupert Murdoch’s マスコミ empire will need some reshaping. The Fox Corp’s 同盟 with Donald Trump has cost it dearly.?

Earlier this year, it forked out $800million (£645million) in a 合法的な 戦う／戦い with 選挙 器具／備品 供給者 Dominion over the 網状組織’s 申し立てられた／疑わしい spread of 投票（する）ing 共謀 theories.?

Fox news channels remain immensely popular, when 競争相手s such as CNN are languishing.

However, so called ‘cord cutting’ is challenging the cable subscription model. The 人気 of streaming services and the challenge of how to make a profitable 移行 is very real.

The change of leadership will also put News Corp ? owner of the Sun, Times and 塀で囲む Street 定期刊行物 ? in the でっちあげる，人を罪に陥れる for change.?

The 肩書を与えるs are all engaged in what is 証明するing a fertile 転換 from paper to 数字表示式の. But the 影をつくる／尾行する of the phone 切り開く／タクシー／不正アクセスing past of the Sun still hangs over that 肩書を与える.?

Newspapers are 深く，強烈に embedded in the Murdoch デオキシリボ核酸. But the 移行 to the next 世代 won’t be 完全に smooth.

世代 game

A larger and more resilient economy is 配達するing the （ドイツなどの）首相／（大学の）学長 Jeremy 追跡（する） higher 領収書s than 事業／計画（する）d at the time of the March 予算, and enabling him to build a 小型の war-chest.?

Main drivers are PAYE 領収書s and 付加価値税 both of which tell us the economy is not 負かす／撃墜する and out.

相続物件 税金s (IHT), a bugbear for 可能性のある Tory 投票者s, also are 配達するing for the 国庫 at £3.2billion in the April-August period, some £300million up on the 類似の period of 2023.?

IHT is often not very high on the 協議事項 of most ordinary 国民s unless they are 星／主役にするing their 製造者 in the 注目する，もくろむ.

It is also one of those 税金s which may not be on the レーダ of younger Britons as they 格闘する with student 貸付金s, climbing the 住宅 ladder and all the struggles which are seen as stirring の間の-generational 衝突.?

This is a nonsense. The 即座の offspring of the baby boomers and their grandchildren should 支払う／賃金 の近くに attention.

Many worry about what has become known in the US as SKI-ing, Spending the Kids 相続物件, but they might be wiser to 焦点（を合わせる） on IHT.?

The 偶発の wealth 蓄積するd in the 居住の 住宅 market, together with some handsome 年金 マリファナs, has driven a whole new cohort into 相続物件 税金 brackets.

Indeed, in spite of all the moans about の間の-generational unfairness, many offspring and grandchildren are already 利益ing from 偶発の wealth through the 設立するd 大勝する of the bank of Mum and Dad or ‘教育の’ 援助 out of income.

にもかかわらず, as the grim reaper arrives for the boomers, the prospect of HMRC grabbing the family nest-egg せねばならない be as of much 関心 to younger 投票者s as the silver surfers. That is why an end to IHT or bigger 救済s could be such a 投票（する） 勝利者.

Simon says

利益（をあげる） 昇格s at Next are a feature of Simon Wolfson’s 用心深い style of 管理／経営. So the 最新の raised 利益（をあげる）s 指導／手引, from £845million to £875million is not a surprise.

It also shows that in spite of the Wilko debacle, Britons are still 反抗するing the cost of living 危機 and scanning their debit and credit cards.

As 利益／興味ing is Wolfson’s （疑いを）晴らす-長，率いるd take on 供給（する） chains. His 分析 shows that the 衝撃 of the 広大な／多数の／重要な インフレーション is fading 急速な／放蕩な. Other FTSE 会社／堅いs, which prioritise PR guff, could learn.
