"It’s important we don’t overlook the saving crisis. Inaction & delays mean at best, people could lose out on their expected retirement income & at worst we could see increased strain on social support system & worsening of retirement poverty." @FassamTim politics.co.uk/opinion/2024/…

Change is needed and a holistic review of pension adequacy is required.
