Lots of references to 'working people' - which doesn;t include pensioners...

The tension!
10 years ago today, @KateBushMusic's Before the Dawn began 🎂 I'm surprised more has not been written about this important anniversary. In any case, I know @katebushnews will salute one of Bush's most important career moments:

In 1978, I read @StephenKing #TheShining and it's been my favourite novel since. But no longer. After 46 years and 2000+ novels, Chris Whitaker's #AlltheColoursoftheDark is my new all time favourite. Thank you @WhittyAuthor for this masterpiece - I and many others are in awe.

Work and leisure crossing here for me @willrdean . My co - Aegon - is exploring the #second50 - 2nd part of what can now be a 100 year life. Key message - it's uncharted territory (bit like the sea bed #Chamber) and unique to everyone. Advice to younger self - think ahead.
People over 50: what advice would you give your younger self?

Really disappointing to see the social care deal and the £86k cap ditched. Fairly sharing costs between individuals and state long overdue. Labour DITCHES long-awaited social care cap despite Wes Streeting vow mol.im/a/13685105 via @MailOnline

Looks like a lot of the #pensionreview will focus on getting more pension money into UK investment. But that NEEDS to be shown as in member interests.

So @RachelReevesMP - should we read anything into you ducking the question this morning about the #UKISA ? Think many would have liked you to confirm you see it as a gimmick.

So... who will be our next #pensionsminister ? Looking forward to another busy time ahead for #pensionspolicy
The UK has elected a new Labour government, marking the start of a wide-ranging period of change for the pensions industry 🗳️ With lots already in motion, and new ideas sure to come, our Pensions Director, @_StevenCameron, is looking forward to supporting saver-first reforms 💬

Thanks @ProfParaplanner for covering this story. Always good to have some insight into future value of the state pension - even if just on assumptions for the future.

Are the @Conservatives really predicting earnings wont increase by more than 2.5% in any of the 4 years between 2026 and 2029? Good to see @Ruth_Emery and @_StevenCameron put some numbers to the Conservatives policy on triple lock after my own estimates last week. ____ Conservatives predict state pension will hit £13,200 by 2029 moneyweek.com/economy/genera…

The manifesto you've all been waiting for is out today (no, not Count Binface, good though it is); the SNP are promising triple lock, compensation for WASPI (cue @JohnRalfe1) and a wellbeing pension. Anyone know what a wellbeing pension is? Answers on a haggis...
