The UK government is considering lowering the salary threshold for student loan repayment from £27,295 to £23,000. But what does this mean for existing and lower-earning graduates and their families? @claerb reports 👇 ft.com/content/18a57f…
Today, a graduate earning £27,295 would have nothing to pay. If these changes happen, their annual take-home pay would be cut by more than £800. If you’ve already started repaying your loan, you could expect annual payments to increase by about £400 ft.com/content/18a57f…
In future, if a graduate earning over £23,000 gets a pay rise, more than 42% of it could be swallowed up by income tax, national insurance, student loan repayments and the new social care levy ft.com/content/18a57f…

Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro's latest comments are being perceived by many voters as a warning of his growing radicalism and the risk that he may try to undermine, or even abandon, elections scheduled for 2022 on.ft.com/3kJ2LX8
Shock and scandal have long been favourite weapons in Bolsonaro’s political arsenal, but the frequency and specificity of his rhetoric in recent months has generated a wave of concern for Brazil’s democracy ft.com/content/1770b0…
In July, the Brazilian president warned 'there will be no election' next year if the country doesn't modify its electronic voting system to stop fraud, even though Brazil’s top electoral court has repeatedly demonstrated the integrity of the system ft.com/content/1770b0…

Taxes may soon be going up for the wealthy, thanks to Joe Biden.

To fund a $3.5tn social spending agenda, the US president wants to implement aggressive tax increases on the wealthy and corporations — far from an easy task.

Let's examine his proposals: on.ft.com/2XFHZyG
Biden has pushed for Americans earning more than $400,000 a year to pay higher taxes in an effort to address income inequality.

He wants to raise the top federal income tax rate to 39.6%. The current rate of 37% is set to expire in 2025 on.ft.com/2XFHZyG
The richest Americans have myriad ways of avoiding high individual tax bills.

Earlier this year, an investigation revealed that billionaires such as Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk paid little to no federal income tax even as their fortunes grew on.ft.com/2XFHZyG

Angela Merkel, Germany’s chancellor for the past 16 years, has moved the country from being the ‘sick man of Europe’ to become an economic powerhouse.

So what has she changed in Germany? on.ft.com/3klQHLk
Perhaps most remarkable of all, Merkel, who enjoys an 80% popularity rating, has overseen vastly expanded job opportunities for women and the old, all while taking in more than a million refugees ft.com/content/259523…
With unemployment near a two-decade low, almost 70% of Germans say they are happy with their economic situation. However, not all of that success is thanks to Merkel, but to her predecessor, Gerhard Schröder ft.com/content/259523…

The north of England is turning Tory – and it can’t be blamed on Brexit alone. Things have shifted in Labour’s heartlands, and to understand why we need to look at how the region has changed since 1980👇 ft.com/content/929022…
Our Whitehall editor @SebastianEPayne has travelled 6,000 miles over the past year through 10 English constituencies that have traditionally been part of the ‘red wall’ of Labour’s northern strongholds – but fled the party for the first time in 2019 ft.com/content/929022…
Labour’s worst defeat since 1935 was instantly pinned on Brexit, combined with the unpopularity of its then leftwing leader Jeremy Corbyn. But @SebastianEPayne sensed something deeper had shifted ft.com/content/929022…
