This morning, the HMRC released data showing that 6.1 million people – equivalent to one in six adults – now pay at a rate of 40 percent, up from 4.2 million in 2019. That includes 629,000 who pay the highest level of income tax – 45 percent profits over .000 150,000 – from 421,000 in 2019-2020. It will add to the concern of Tory lawmakers that the Conservatives’ reputation as a low-tax party is under threat....
Comment Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey (R) on Thursday endorsed real estate developer Karrin Taylor Robson in the battleground state’s GOP primary race for governor, arguing she is best placed to succeed him over a Trump-backed candidate. The endorsement pits Ducey, a two-term governor who heads the national Republican Governors Association, against former President Donald Trump and his favored running mate, former TV anchor Carrie Lake. Speculation had been mounting for months about whether Ducey would endorse in a bitter primary race largely determined by illegal immigration, border security, the economy and whether the two front-runners would accept the results of the 2020 presidential election....
Grimaldo played 47 times for the Portuguese Liga club last season – but fell out with management on the final day after being selected to play despite the expectation that he would sit out so he could travel to Spain. Mikel Arteta is keen to add to his Arsenal squad after a poor end to the season saw the Gunners pip rivals Tottenham for the final Champions League spot. He has already moved to secure the signature of Porto star Fabio Vieira, while Manchester City striker Gabriel Jesus has been confirmed....
Several school districts across Texas are encouraging students to wear pink Monday in honor of Athena Strand, the 7-year-old girl who was allegedly abducted from her home and killed last week. More than 20 school districts, including Paradise Independent School District in the county where Strand was lost, are participating in the act of remembrance, wearing the color her mother said she loved. Wise County Judge JD Clark also asked residents to wear pink Monday in memory of Strand, saying in a Facebook post, “My heart is so heavy for Athena....
After her stepfather Travis Barker was admitted to the hospital, according to information about pancreatitis, the 23-year-old uploaded to her Instagram Story to thank her followers for their support. “Thank you for pouring out the love and prayers that are being sent right now,” he wrote on June 29. “It is heard, felt and appreciated. Xx” According to TMZ, citing multiple family-related sources, the Blink-182 drummer was rushed to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles on June 28 with inflammation of the pancreas causing abdominal pain – which doctors believe was caused by recent colonoscopy....
As Stinson writes, Durant’s motivation in asking for a trade out of Brooklyn remains a bit nebulous, especially since he just signed a four-year extension last August. That should concern vice chairman and president of basketball operations Masai Ujiri, because dealing for a superstar who might not be engaged or on the same page as the club could be disastrous, according to Stinson. Drawing parallels between Ujiri’s trade for Kawhi Leonard in the 2018 offseason to the Durant sweepstakes now doesn’t make sense, per Stinson, because the situations aren’t similar....

Viele Fotos in Anzeigen und sozialen Medien seien nachträglich bearbeitet worden – und setzten junge Menschen unter Druck, sagen die Gleichstellungsministerinnen und -minister der Länder. Also fordern sie, dass solche Bilder zur Kenntnis genommen werden. Die Gleichstellungsministerinnen der Länder wollen eine Kennzeichnungspflicht für geschönte Bilder in sozialen Netzwerken. „Schönheitsfilter, die in sozialen Medien und in der Werbung eingesetzt werden, schaffen nachweislich ein unrealistisches Schönheitsideal für Mädchen und Frauen, weil einfach nicht mehr erkennbar ist, welche Fotos bearbeitet werden und welche nicht“, sagte Hamburgs Gleichstellungssenatorin Katharina Fegebank nach dem Kongress....
Smartphones haben klassische Kameras abgelöst. Ben Girardi / Laif Für das perfekte Bild sind technisches Wissen und fotografisches Können ebenso wichtig wie eine gute Kamera.

08.07.2022 4:28 Uhr Nachts ist der Plenarsaal des Bundestages meist spärlich besetzt. Genau genommen ist das Parlament nicht beschlussfähig. Das wird meist übersehen – doch diesmal steht die AfD im Weg. Die AfD hat am Freitagabend die Bundestagssitzung beendet. Kurz vor halb zwei erzwang der Caucus einen Schafssprung, um die Beschlussfähigkeit des Repräsentantenhauses zu überprüfen. Genau genommen muss mehr als die Hälfte der 736 Abgeordneten anwesend sein – was nachts eigentlich nie vorkommt....
