I don't believe there's a fund for the state pension as there is with workplace and private pensions. It's just paid out of current expenditure.

Or there was a fund and some bugger raided it in the past:)

I no longer work for either company, so no, I'm not contributing to them.

People who I worked with, who are still there, are still in them.
However, they are closed to new members, only pre-exsiting members are active.

Not much of a commitment when you can just change your mind at any time.

A bit more on that Sajid story

Quote:

Here is the measure of the chaos in Downing St.

Ex chancellor @sajidjavid was incandescent about briefing that he’s incompetent to Sunday Times.

He blamed Truss’s adviser Jason Stein and was planning to humiliate the PM by asking a question about Stein at #PMQs.

After talking to cabinet secretary Simon Case, Javid said his condition for not hijacking #PMQs is Stein would be suspended and there should be investigation by Cabinet Office’s Propriety and Ethics committee. Stein has duly been suspended and probe is happening.

But it won’t end there, because Stein is confident he cannot be sanctioned for what happened, which carries the implication others in Downing St are to blame.

No wonder so many Tory MPs say Truss simply cannot continue in office.

Suella Braverman departs as UK home secretary.

Quote:

Suella Braverman is understood to have departed as UK home secretary after Liz Truss cleared her diary and called off a planned visit amid desperate attempts to save her premiership, the Guardian has been told.

There is speculation that Grant Shapps, the former transport secretary who strongly backed Rishi Sunak in the Conservative leadership race, will replace Braverman in another sudden revamp of Truss’s government.

Re: Liz Truss [Prime Minister]

In this case she was probably fired. There were stories last week that No 10 took her off immigration as she was freelancing policy apparently to order to appeal to Tory Members

Apparently Jeremy Hunt played a large part in her departure.

There was always going to be tension on this - Truss wants supply side reforms (ie easier Immigration) to reduce inflation. Braverman wants less.

Govt source confirms that Suella Braverman has left the Home Office. Understand it is 'not over a policy disagreement' but an 'honest mistake' - we await more detail, but the Home Sec is gone
