Today has rather proved populists have “no idea” how to fix things, falling apart the first time they’re asked a basic question. Proper politics is about long term answers to difficult challenges - like how to make sure today’s workers can look forward to a comfortable retirement
We can't afford to save because the cost of living keeps increasing and wages don't. Labour has so far done nothing to lower the cost of living.
One of the best pension moves you could make is to abolish the ridiculously expensive MP pension. Enrol all MP into NEST using the PAE rules. It’s the ultimate performance pay. You do a good job, the stock market rises, your pension investment improves.
