UK homeowners and renters are facing a “huge income shock” as rising interest rates hit mortgages and monthly costs, the boss of Barclays has warned reports the BBC.

CS Venkatakrishnan, who is known as Venkat, estimates that payments by mortgage holders and tenants will take a chunk of between 28% and 30% out of their income.
