Osborne heads to US and Asia as disarray roils UK politics

Leaving behind what's set to be another week of political disarray at home, Mr Osborne is embarking on a two-week shuttle tour of the US, China and Singapore in a bid to persuade financiers to stick with the UK as it prepares to end its union with the world's largest trading bloc.
