After a legal loss in the fight to protect women’s rights, activist and former University of Kentucky All-American swimmer Riley Gaines warned the alleged “perpetrator” is putting the sorority sisters “in harm’s way.” “I’m very close with several of these girls on this case, I just was with one in Omaha this past weekend. And what they’re going through, what this man, Artemis, what he does to them, what he says to them, again, I won’t list too much because of the litigation process, I wish I could, but you would be disturbed,” ...

Over 367,000 fixed-rate mortgages are due to come to the end of their five-year deals over the next year, the majority of which have an average outstanding balance of £170,000, Equifax analysis revealed. This will mean an average increase in monthly repayments of around £300 if customers revert to a variable rate.‌ Over the past year, interest rates have continued to rise, causing more homeowners to feel the squeeze. As the base rate rises, mortgage rates have consequently done so too. Experts believe the base rate could rise further in the coming months, potentially hitting highs of 5.5 percent. As a result, hundreds of fixed-term deals have been taken off the market and reintroduced with higher rates as providers reassess their options. ‌A host of major lenders have upped their fixed...

Cela fait plusieurs années que le thème de l’héritage navigue en sous-marin dans le débat public. Des travaux d’économistes apportent depuis au moins le début des années 2010 des éclairages réguliers sur la manière dont le patrimoine s’est progressivement concentré en haut de la pyramide, et documentent les effets néfastes de l’héritage sur l’économie et la cohésion sociale. Pourtant, aucune réforme sur le sujet n’est entreprise. Ainsi, alors qu’en 2017 Emmanuel Macron s’était érigé en Don Quichotte des rentes, il a renoncé un an plus tard à engager une telle réforme. Dans le même temps, la concentration des patrimoines s’accroît inexorablement : l’Institut national de la statistique et des études économiques (Insee) montre que les 10 % des plus aisés ont un patrimoine brut 163 fois pl...

The recommended hike to taxes on wealthier Americans is being brought forward to cover the cost of services such as Medicare and Social Security. However, Joe Biden’s plans have been slammed as an “economic disaster”. As part of President Biden’s proposal, the top marginal rate of income tax would be raised from 37 percent to 39.6 percent. This tax hike would predominantly impact single filers with earnings over $450,000 (£324,000) and couples who make an income of over $450,000 (£365,000) per year. On top of this, the proposed Budget aims to tax capital gains at the same rate of 39.6 percent of Americans earning over $1million (£812,000). As well as this, Biden is also looking to close the “interest loophole” which allows investment fund managers to pay a lower rate. READ MORE: Inhe...
