No. Nothing outside public statements around looking into it. Would be nice.

I think it’s a bit rich of the Conservatives saying this. They started this conversation and I don’t doubt they would be saying the same if in power.

Tbf I’ve not posted much in here. I get an error on my work laptop that says I’m not connected to the internet on something. Bit of a barrier to sharing and being part of the conversation.

Look whose house in London I just walked past. Only the most important physicist between Newton and Einstein. Distilled all electric and magnetic phenomena into one neat set of equations. Realised light is a disturbance rippling through the invisible electric and magnetic fields of empty space.

A fascinating UK pensions job for someone but note the 11 April deadline! Worth sharing round the friends of pensions BlueSky? @stevewebb1.bsky.social @henrytapper.bsky.social @pensionsdave.bsky.social @prospectpension.bsky.social @stephawthorne.bsky.social @jonstapleton.bsky.social

It is such a lesson. Running a business is not like running a country. They are not synonymous and the checks and balances in place to stop rogue actors are there for a reason. CEOs may have more power, fine. But you don’t have CEOs of countries. He’s like an analogy gone wrong.

Hey, I am looking for your questions around pensions for next week’s Money Box Live. Maybe you’re 18 and wondering what age to start, maybe you’re 50 and getting a bit anxious. Maybe you want to check your investments are ethical. Maybe something else entirely! Email me felicity.hannah@bbc.co.uk

Near retirement? There’s a huge tax trap to avoid when withdrawing from a pension. This is my simple video analogy but always get 1-on-1 free guidance from PensionWise first. This is just a titbit, watch my full Pension special on @itvmlshow.bsky.social: www.itv.com/watch/the-ma...

Growth isn’t about abstract figures that only matter to economists. Growing the economy is how we get wages up and public services delivering in Wales and across the UK. The Chancellor is right. It’s time we get building again.

I thought they’d given up on DB world so surprised it has come back. If you work through the schemes I fear it will be a dwindling number for whom it will work.

Dave Brooks @pensionsdave.bsky.social · 28/01/2025

Maybe but very different world. Virtually no schemes accruing new rights, PPF exists, risk averse regulatory framework for 20+ years means a lot of schemes are a far safer position.

A new piece from me for @ftadviser.bsky.social on financial education. Why does it have such little impact, and what can we do about it? www.ftadviser.com/diversity-in...

Why does financial education have such little impact?

Many financial education initiatives, in schools and the workplace in particular, have been created over the past decade.

Robyn and I did our first Hyrox at the weekend. On for our target time but an injury near the end messed that up. We’ll be back. Unfinished business. #hyrox

Is this use of surplus without risking member security and keeping the scheme going? Run on with wings. Return of the public sector consolidator?

I can't decide what's more terrifying: 1. the nightmare news that *0.33%* of our millionaires have left the country, or 2. the horrifying tidings that ***0.5%** of pupils have left the private sector. (h/t @samfr.bsky.social) It's almost as bad as the bond market-driven collapse of our economy.

Two things... They still have to pay tax on UK assets no matter where they live, and... 10k is a very small figure compared to how many millionaires reside in the UK.
