Rupert Murdoch, whose News Corp paid no UK net tax at all between 1987 and 1999, attacked Google parent's tax deal with the UK.
"Google et al broke no tax laws,'' Murdoch wrote on Twitter. "Now paying token amounts for p r purposes. Won't work. Need strong new laws to pay like the rest of us.''
He was referring to Alphabet's agreement to pay £130 million pounds in taxes dating back to 2005.
