6/ All in all its a very dissapointing state of affairs. Its causing huge stress for @nhs_pensions members and leaving them in great financial uncertainty with difficulty planning their finances.

RT if you agree this is unnaceptable.

1/ This is a *really* important thread🧵 re current pensions consultation. I need you to take time to read it properly & watch the 2 videos / modelling done with @gdcuk

They are trying to steal your pension, whilst pretending they are fixing a problem. Read, 👀 2 videos & RT

[Dr Tony Goldstone @goldstone_tony]

1/ BREAKING: As reported overnight in @thetimes there is a new consultation out later today

A short 🧵 in some of the detail

TLDR: Some helpful bits, but too litttle, too late with NOTHING for AA/LTA

[The Royal College of Radiologists @RCRadiologists]

Our Insight Panel survey reveals fears over winter pressures impacting patient safety and longer waits for diagnosis 📈

An anonymous doctor reported feeling “genuinely frightened for my patients, my team, my community, and myself”.

THOUGHT FOR DAY: In 2021 LTA@£1.073m = public sector pension of £46,657 before breaching

With inflation 10.1% '22, 7.9% '23 LTA should be £1.423m buying same pension of 46.7k

Instead LTA will by 27/28 be real terms £818k = pension just £35.6k!
