Philippines' Marcos vows to fight back after estranged VP's assassination threat

Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos vowed on Monday to fight back against what he called reckless and troubling threats against him, speaking out after his estranged vice president said he would be assassinated if she herself were killed. In a strongly-worded video message addressing the nation, Marcos did not name Vice President Sara Duterte, his presidential running mate, but said "such criminal plans should not be overlooked".

Sterling firms after 3-day slide against sagging dollar

Sterling was on track to snap a three-day losing streak on Monday, as the dollar's slide after the selection of fund manager Scott Bessent as U.S. Treasury Secretary lent support to most major currency pairs. BoE Deputy Governor Clare Lombardelli said on Monday she was more worried about the risk that inflation comes in higher - not lower - than the central bank has forecast as she made the case for only gradual reductions in interest rates. The BoE is expected to be less dovish than the European Central Bank or the Federal Reserve in the face of stubborn inflation.

Sadiq Khan details his plan to build 6,000 rent-controlled homes for 'everyday heroes'

Sadiq Khan’s plan to build thousands of rent-controlled homes could save ‘key workers’ in London up to £600 per month on their rent, according to City Hall.The mayor on Monday launched a consultation on the plan, which aims to see at least 6,000 such properties start construction by 2030.To ensure the new homes are “genuinely affordable”, Mr Khan is proposing to set the rents at 40 per cent of average key worker household incomes after tax.This is an established measure of affordability, mirroring what is already enshrined in the mayor’s London Plan - an official document which guides future development in the capital.Mr Khan’s team said that, when compared with renting from a private landlord, this model could save key workers up to £600 per month on their rent.The figure comes from the fact that the average market rent for a two-bedroom London home in 2023 was £1,825pcm, whereas a rent-controlled two-bedroom property would have a benchmark rate in 2023/24 of £1,236pcm.Annual rent increases would potentially be set in line with wage rises, or at two per cent each year, depending on which is higher.The mayor has already produced a list setting out who he considers to be a key worker, based on definitions drawn up by the Office for National Statistics.It includes people working in education and childcare, such as nursery assistants, school secretaries and caretakers; in the ‘food and necessary goods’ sector, like retail cashiers, shelf-fillers and shopkeepers; and in health and social care, such as nurses, midwives and paramedics.
