Charlie Brooker's Wipe - sometimes you forget how seriously funny this is. 2013 - featuring Godfrey Bloom, dogging and a Royal birth. No, not Royals dogging although that would be funny youtu.be/KUSwhdp7j48?si…

@custardcross @Greenmount17312 @MartinSLewis If you have a lump sum from a final salary scheme , yes. And if you leave a widow / partner they receive half your pension. It is still a hard pill to swallow that for example a £1M pot is now subject to 40% then a further 20 , 40 or 45% when drawdown occurs

Just to say the "inheritance pensions will be brought into inheritance tax from 2027" is a big change - i'm going to explain more about who this impacts after the budget speech is over.

@1ohreally @Greenmount17312 @MartinSLewis Transferring was the best choice for me four years ago. Divorced it means any children get something, the other choice would mean nothing

@Greenmount17312 @MartinSLewis Interesting. I thought final salary pensions were the best you can have. I was advised by financial advisors to leave my defined benefit pension alone & not take up the buy out offer. Glad I did now.

@MinorityM1ndset I'm sticking with my investment management firm and the SIPP that fronts it. They've seen me through the last four years since retirement and will hopefully deliver over the following decades, through highs and lows

What's your goal for the rest of 2024? Buy? Sell? Hold?
