Should I change my pension contributions ahead of the Autumn Budget?

This comment will possibly be deleted but if a certain conker hued candidate wins in the US then everyone’s savings and the economy in general will take a lurch. Not sure which way for those invested in ‘the markets’ via their pensions but I can do without the excitement to be honest. May make the buget look like a sideshow. 

My personal opinions of the "conker hued candidate aside; during its last reign, the S&P steadily increased by about 55% over those 4 years. 

I would happily take a repeat of that performance from now until January 2029!... it would allow me to pull my planned retirement date forwards by about 3 years! 😁  

There’s a non zero chance that he will tank the economy, protectionism is not a good thing long term. Also, not sure I want to grow old with his crowd looming over us, but so long as you’re coining it in….but don’t be too sure

All my calculations around my retirement are around the 25% number remaining as is, as it has for decades now. I assume if they reduce it they will allow some sort of relief to previously built entitlements (whilst allowing no more) since many like myself have built our plans around that 25%.
