Yes, that’s right, another special episode of the podcast – oh, you lucky things. This time out, you join the team as they negotiate their way around the Houses of Parliament on the day that peers voted to remove the mandation clause from the Pension Schemes Bill.
One of the most vocal opponents of mandation in the halls of Westminster in recent weeks has been the shadow pensions minister Helen Whately, and she sat down with Nick and Tom ahead of the House of Lords vote to discuss her opposition to mandation. We also discuss government overreach and the triple lock on the state pension.
Plus, Nick and Tom take you into the Strangers Gallery of the House of Lords to witness the vote unfold in real time – and find out what happens next, with the bill soon to head back to the Commons.
