    This appears to be the outcome we were hoping for?!

    ”Labour drops plan to reintroduce pension saving cap”

    Yes and has been discussed on a couple of other threads, that have since seem to have disappeared as they probably got a bit too political.

    Let's hope this doesn't go the same way as it's been here for some time. At what point does a discussion about how a Government might affect pensions become "too political"?

    Usually soon after someone asks that very question...

    Well, after doing some reading, there won't be any discussions on pension changes until the next Budget / Review.  :D

    Very good !

    AIUI , LTA was not mentioned at all in the Labour Manifesto published yesterday, which seems a bit odd.
    Although I have not actually read it.

    Would you expect it to be mentioned if no changes are going to be made?

    As I understand it if it's in any party's manifesto, and that party has the majority, it is incumbent on them to action what they have proposed there at some point in the parliament (unless something big like Covid comes along).
    If it's not in the manifesto, they can say what they like before an election, but there is no onus on them to actually do what is verbally put forward

    If there is no change, there is no action to take.
