An autumn statement for Britain – not the Tories.
Today Jeremy Hunt will stand up and tell us his plan for getting Britain out of the shit, or at least for moving the shit around so that we all get some of the smelly stuff and it doesn’t … Continue reading
Loosening the pension charge cap
This move will enable your #pension scheme to invest more widley to help ‘build back better’. The deal is you may pay higher charges with no guarantee of higher returns. https://t.co/dBkJoXhFsT — Josephine Cumbo (@JosephineCumbo) October 27, 2021 Plans to … Continue reading
Was that “do-nothing” budget good or bad for pensions?

Budget blues for Osborne – but not for payroll
