Companies must share benefits of globalisation, Theresa May tells Davos

PM says world's biggest firms must pay taxes and treat workers fairly, and market forces alone will not deliver for people

Theresa May has told the world's biggest companies they need to start paying their taxes and treat their workers more fairly in order to address the concerns of those who feel left behind by globalisation.

In a keynote speech to the World Economic Forum, the prime minister said governments could not rely on international market forces to deliver prosperity for everyone and action was needed to address the "deeply felt sense of economic inequality that has emerged in recent years".
