December 08, 2025 Budget Leaks and Legislative Tweaks: Your Guide to a Chaotic Couple of Weeks
What a week for pensions policy! Nick and Tom are back for Episode 2, and there's a LOT to unpack.

Fresh from the Pensions Expert Annual Conference at Pennyhill Park (where everyone finally "got" pension dashboards), the team tackles two massive stories: the Pension Schemes Bill's third reading AND the Autumn Budget.

We cover plans to modernise fiduciary duty and what it means for domestic investment, the OBR leak that led to Richard Hughes' resignation, and what the budget actually delivered: salary sacrifice caps, PPF pre-1997 indexation wins, and LGPS stamp duty relief.

Plus: why your rugby club mate thinks their pension is doomed, Tom's absolute nightmare journey to Wales involving cancelled trains, a broken phone, and Bristol Parkway (which is definitely not in Newport).

Oh, and Jenny the trainee guide dog makes her podcast debut with strong opinions on anything chewable.
