    Younger generation will feel most pain from the end of the triple lock (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone

    Read excerpt

    The triple lock has been on the chopping block for a while – now Andy Burnham has just raised the axe. From 2030 it will lose one of its limbs, so that the state pension rises every year in line with inflation or by 2.5 per cent – but not in line with average earnings. The Prime Minister pledged that the state pension will ‘hold its value relative to earnings over time’ but did not say how this would be achieved in practice. Ditching it is typically seen as an attack on older generations. And it

    Budget could bring a fresh tax on investments: RACHEL RICKARD STRAUSS (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    There is a hefty tax most of us haven’t had to worry about until now – but growing numbers will be ensnared in its net and bills could go through the roof overnight. The Government is reportedly eyeing up a capital gains tax (CGT) hike to raise some much needed cash. You pay CGT when you sell something you own and make a profit on it. The Government demands a chunk of that profit, except in a few circumstances. You don’t have to pay it if you sell your own home for more than you paid for it – bu

    You'll still feel poorer after 3.9% state pension boost - here's why (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    You would think now would be a moment for retirees to rejoice. The state pension is set for a bumper increase from April – up by an inflation-busting 3.9 per cent, figures confirmed yesterday. That’s an extra £488 a year for those on the full new state pension, bringing the annual income to £13,036. Great news – but only in theory. Rather than feeling better off, I fear pensioners could still end up poorer next spring when the pay rise kicks in. A painful few months of insidious tax rises and Bu

    One step Andy Burnham could take now to make us all richer and happier (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    I’m not going to turn up my nose at 5 per cent off my electricity bill from October, announced by Andy Burnham today. Households are going to need all the help they can get because bills look set to surge as the Iran war threatens to escalate again. They’re forecast to be higher this winter than last – even with the Prime Minister’s giveaway. Well-off households with large homes, those who like to keep their heating ramped up or who have swimming pools to heat will no doubt be especially gratefu

    My awkward faux pas that could make YOU richer: RACHEL RICKARD STRAUS (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    It may be seven months since the work Christmas party, but I still cringe every time I remember something I said to a colleague. I forget about it until I spot him across the office or pass him in the corridor and it reminds me with horror of my social faux pas. The drinks were flowing, the dancefloor heaving and I got talking to someone I didn’t know from a different department. The polite chitchat was going well until I blurted out at top volume over the thumping music: ‘So which workplace pen
