Southall have been building toward a summer like this for a decade, and “Freight Train” is the sound of a band that knows exactly where they’re headed. The new single from the Platinum country-rock six-piece is a southern soul anthem built on a locked-in groove, rattling guitar, head-nodding bassline, and old school piano, with frontman Read Southall reflecting on time slipping through his fingers faster than he can hold it. “Time is moving like a freight train, brother,” he laments. By the end of the track, he’s made peace with it. The journey from yearning to acceptance takes less than…

Gross buy-to-let rental yields edged higher in Q1 2026, rising to 6.96% from 6.92% at the end of the previous quarter, according to lending data from Paragon Bank. The figures, drawn from the bank’s Q1 2026 Buy-to-Let Yields report, point to a market holding steady against a backdrop of softening tenant demand.

The North West (7.87%), East Midlands (7.58%) and Yorkshire & the Humber (7.45%) rounded out the top five. At the other end of the scale, Greater London recorded the lowest…

German Enlightenment philosopher Immanuel Kant argued in his 1795 essay Perpetual Peace: A Philosophical Sketch, that nations should conduct themselves in a particular way with wars and debt: “National debts shall not be contracted with a view to the external friction of states.” In other words, to maintain peace, don’t finance wars with debt. Nearly a quarter-millennium later, public finance expert Linda Bilmes warns the U.S. is making this exact mistake in how it’s raising capital for the Iran war, encumbering the already weighty $39 trillion national debt. According to Bilmes, a policy lecturer at the Harvard Kennedy School, the…

Some investors might see the S&P 500 (^GSPC +1.20%) sitting at an all-time high and think there’s not a lot of value to be found right now. Bill Ackman is looking at it and asking investors to give him $10 billion to deploy in some of the best opportunities he sees. The hedge fund manager is preparing for the initial public offering of a new closed-end fund, Pershing Square U.S. The fund will trade publicly starting this summer after a dual listing with Pershing Square, the fund management company Ackman runs, which currently oversees about $20 billion in assets. Ackman…

The number of new houses built in Victoria last year was surpassed by the number of first-home loans issued. Victorian first-home buyers are turning their backs on building new homes and the traditional Great Australian Dream of a house with a back yard. Economists have warned it is now “absolutely inevitable” the state’s housing supply situation will grow worse in the coming years. An alarming Australian Bureau of Statistics data released this month revealed the state built fewer new houses last year than the number of home loans issued to first-home buyers. The ABS stats show that in 2025 there…

A projected wave of landlord exits from England’s private rented sector (PRS) is set to exacerbate supply shortages and put sustained upward pressure on rents, as new regulations and rising costs reshape the sector. Research from specialist buy-to-let lender Pepper Money suggests around 220,000 households – roughly 5% of the PRS – could leave the sector by the end of 2026. While those headline figures reveal a major structural shift in landlord behaviour, their more immediate impact will be on creating a growing mismatch between supply and demand that is unlikely to ease in the near term. More than 65,000…

There’s no doubt that money can be made by owning shares of unprofitable businesses. By way of example, Alma Metals (ASX:ALM) has seen its share price rise 180% over the last year, delighting many shareholders. But while history lauds those rare successes, those that fail are often forgotten; who remembers Pets.com? In light of its strong share price run, we think now is a good time to investigate how risky Alma Metals’ cash burn is. For the purpose of this article, we’ll define cash burn as the amount of cash the company is spending each year to fund its growth…
