One of the world's biggest bankers has become the latest businessman to call out the self-inflicted harm Britain is suffering because of Brexit. 

London's status as a global financial hub is "fragile", Goldman Sachs boss David Solomon warned. 

He joins a host of leading business chiefs including billionaire Michael Bloomberg sounding the alarm about the ongoing fallout from leaving the EU.

Goldman Sachs is turning its attention away from London and towards Paris, Frankfurt, Munich and other rival cities across the continent.
