STORY: From yet more historic U-turns in the UK, to why Netflix is defying critics, this is the week in Numbers. First up…

About $36 billion is how much will be raised every year by new tax measures in the UK.

That after newly installed finance minister Jeremy Hunt threw out almost every part of Prime Minister Liz Truss’s mini-budget.

Truss' plan to slash taxes and ramp up borrowing had sparked a huge sell-off in UK assets.

Sterling recovered some ground after Hunt’s stunning series of U-turns.

And, in the end, Truss resigned on Thursday.

2.4 million is how many subscribers Netflix added over the latest quarter.

That was more than twice the number analysts expected, raising hopes that the streaming giant is not done growing yet.

$778 million is how much French cement maker Lafarge will pay to settle U.S. charges that it paid Islamic State and other groups to allow it to operate in Syria.

U.S. attorney Breon Peace said Lafarge’s actions defied belief:

“This sentence is well deserved because in 2013 and 2014, Lafarge made a deal with the devil - foreign terrorists who pledged to and in fact did harm the United States, its people and its national security. And they did it for profit.”

$69.4 billion was the total for nine-month sales at Nestle – marking growth at a 14-year high.

The Swiss foods giant is benefiting as higher prices more than make up for rising costs.

And 75% of Twitter's workforce – around 7,000 employees – could be cut if Elon Musk takes over.

That's according to a report in the Washington Post.

Twitter told staff on Thursday there are no plans for company-wide layoffs since it signed a deal to be bought by the Tesla CEO.
