I have joined the long list of people sharing their opinions on what the pension commissioners should get up to over the next year and a half. Although obviously the main point of discussion for everyone who knows me is 'how old is that headshot??'

🚨 Prospect research reveals women lose out on £7,600 a year in retirement.

A 36.5% gender pension gap – that's double the gender pay gap.

This inequality is unacceptable. Government must take real action now to close the gap.
Gender gap means retired women ‘have four months a year with no pension’
Income inequality means women in effect stop receiving a pension from 21 August, union leaders say

Although I always feel slightly embarrassed about reports that start 'TUC research shows' when we basically just copy the excellent work of @prospectpension.bsky.social

Big opportunity for the government to shape pensions policy for decades to come.

Vital that they show plenty of ambition.
