Paraplanner, UK financial services. I like pensions

Here’s the clip.

The Chancellor:- “Cutting inflation from 10% to 5% puts 5 pence in every pound back in your pocket”.

Yes, he really said this. The chancellor. Of the Exchequer. Him.

Hmmm, I'm not sure an AJ Bell SIPP is the most cost-effective solution for investing £20k in unitised funds... 🤔 https://t.co/mufo85sXo3

We represent 96% of train drivers, but there are limits…

Remembered Jack Monroe's Vîmes Boots Index idea. Wondered where it was up to, as all seems to have gone very quiet. Seems we may be waiting indefinitely...

@rhipratchett @casswren @RTGreenParty @TRLibDems @BootstrapCook Excuse my cynicism:
1. It's going to take the weekend.
2. Lot's of people to help.
3. I'm just one person.
4. It's nearly done
I eagerly await the next instalment.

What does the Consumer Duty paper mean for paraplanners? I've given my thoughts here. https://t.co/9zHG5F3pHy

Mo Farah breaking his story given the current climate around migrants, is such an impactful way of leveraging his voice. So many people don’t realise how hostile U.K. immigration systems truly are.

- pensioners to get 10% income rise

- while social workers, police, health workers, rail and local government etc heading for more like 2%

It's really good to be able to complement this with in-person conferences again, though. Had some great catch-ups and conversations during the coffee breaks! ☕

[Eleanor Palmer DipPFS @AParaplanner]

Brilliant conference today from @pfsconf @PFSParaplanHQ. Some great takeaways from presentations from @OrbisInvestUK, @WeAreJustUK, @melissakidd and the Practitioner Panel.

Remote conferences over Teams and Zoom enable me to access some extremely valuable resources and viewpoints with the convenience of joining from home, which is a huge benefit.

[Cory Doctorow NO LONGER ON TWIT TER @doctorow]

When I moved to the UK in the 2000s, nearly everyone I met fancied themselves a real-estate genius. Young people all had plans to "get on the housing ladder." Each of these schemes was more crackpot than the last. Most plausible was "doing up" minuscule flats to flip them. 1/

AirBnB marketing commentary: calling it a "tiny house" or a "cabin" doesn't stop it being a "static caravan".

[Eleanor Palmer DipPFS @AParaplanner]

@JackGilbert13 It gets easier. They fall into their own routines and patterns after a few months, which adds a bit of welcome predictability.

Best tips I can give: teamwork, communication, and self care are all hugely important!

Son was off nursery today with a bug. We went to Granny's house for the day. I did some work from the sofa and joined our team meeting over Teams (with headset for privacy and noise reduction) - definitely couldn't have done that pre-Covid

[Eleanor Palmer DipPFS @AParaplanner]

I'm really lucky to work somewhere that has very much got on board with home working and flexible working throughout the pandemic, and plans to keep that approach going forward.
