Not a bad way to kick off 2013: a world exclusive followed up by papers at home and abroad. Le Figaro and Le Monde reported Guido’s story that French rock star Jean Michel Jarre was considering “exil fiscal”. Amusingly Guido even beat HuffPo France to the story. En retard!

This side of the channel the Guardian picked it up despite initial scepticism, with the Mail and the Telegraph following suit. Happy new year…
