Season 2 Episode 4: What does the new Burnham government mean for pensions policy?
The UK has a new Prime Minister in Andy Burnham with John Healey named his new Chancellor. But one key position hasn’t changed. Torsten Bell remains as Pensions Minister. So does that mean business as usual for the pensions industry or could a new government bring a change in direction?
In the latest Brightwell Pensions Unpacked podcast Dave Eaton from H/advisors, Tiffany Tsang from Pensions UK and Amy Mankelow from Brightwell chat about what’s likely to stay the same, what could change and how Burnham and his team might approach the thorny question of pensions adequacy.
In this episode we also touch on Count Binface, the possibility of a general election before the year is out and whether pensions dashboards could give the sector a ‘Martin Lewis’ moment.
