Surprisingly good news on all the pension allowances changes. Inevitable that after abolishing the LTA, a cap (£268k) will be placed on tax-free cash #Budget2023

Why we need one not two state pension systems

Unclear why recent Chancellors seem to think it's a good idea to release most of the "good news" in advance, running the risk of the media focus being on the bad news on budget day itself. Big change from Gordon Brown's day when no-one not even the PM knew anything beforehand.

Interesting discussion with @johndarvall on @bbcrb this pm about the origins of the state pension. Reference to LLoyd-George's 1908 first Old Age Pension Act, the Beverage reforms of 1948 and more recent changes to pension ages and entitlements.

Very sad to hear about the passing of Peter Weiner. I have very fond memories of Peter throughout my 13 years as CEO of TPAS.. He was an absolute stalwart for the service, a lovely man and someone much admired by all. R.I.P dear friend. You will be sorely missed.

V interesting report. Findings for younger savers rather contradict previous thinking on this issue.

Not holding my breath for fuller details of latest plans. The politically perilous question of who shd pay for social care has plagued sucessive governments over many years & will not be easily resolved.

Many thanks to @Headlinemoney_ for the drink and nibbles. Really looking forward to the #HMAwards20 on Wednesday. Quite an array of journalistic talent on display. This is one virtual event you wouldn't want to miss.
