@RedbridgeIndys You seem very keen to answer your critics, particular those in government. But residents in your wards are trying to get answer to questions they have about your campaign, yet you wont answer tweets or emails. When will you be on our doorsteps or holding hustings?

[Pádraig Floyd @gogetemfloyd]

@RedbridgeIndys When can we expect to see candidates on the doorstep in Goodmayes? Or will you be holding a hustings? I have questions on the manifesto, yet no opportunity to raise them.

[Pádraig Floyd @gogetemfloyd]

@RedbridgeIndys You need a proof reader. When will we see you on the doorsteps so we can ask you about the policies?

[Pádraig Floyd @gogetemfloyd]

@atrupar If it guaranteed cheating, I'd have thought he'd be all over it. But we've used it for years in the UK.

[Pádraig Floyd @gogetemfloyd]

@RedbridgeIndys I hope you're not focusing your campaign on this. Especially as you have still to issue your manifesto. Foreign policy shouldn't be a focus of local elections. We have our own problems here and now.

@antmiddleton Oh, the irony...

[Pádraig Floyd @gogetemfloyd]

@johnredwood You've changed your tune.
The Bayeux tapestry commemorates the last foreign invasion that began the creation and evolution of England, it's language, laws and customs, into the nation that you sought to protect with Brexit.
Typical Tory double standards.

DC pensions must listen to what members want to avoid face lower engagement or even a loss of trust.
Yes, of course it will be hard. But who ever said keeping the customer satisfied was easy?

Gregg McClymont – once shadow pensions minister – spoke at last week's PLSA investment conference about private markets and the potential for funds to drive UK growth. Here's my interview himon the subject. https://t.co/t8ha9awNGO

Financial literacy is an integral part of the debate around pensions adequacy. But not enough is being done to make drive up standards. I spoke to Phil Fortio from Raindrop about lost pots, dashboards and how to drive better engagement.

The key investment trends for pension schemes in 2025
What are the key investment trends that DB and DC schemes should be aware of this year – and why? #journorequest @journo_request #pensions #InvestmentStrategy

[Pádraig Floyd @gogetemfloyd]

Adequacy is saving enough to provide a meaningful income in retirement. So, why has it been dropped from the reform agenda? I spoke to Mike Ambery of Standard Life about where government goes next. https://t.co/cnJz1zb6zH #pensions #reform #adequacy #retirement #personalfinance

@thatginamiller I'm amazed it's only £300.

If you're considering a live or streamed event from @FaneProductions, think again. I've experienced the most tortuous and nonsensical process to prepare for a livestream this evening. Fingers crossed I will be able to access it, but I fear there will be more problems tonight.

@evrisupportline I don't expect you will respond, but I am sick to death of your drivers lying about making an attempt to deliver so I am inconvenienced with rescheduling delivery. Utterly. Sick. Of. It. #evri #liars

[Pádraig Floyd @gogetemfloyd]

@evrisupportline Why is it, Evri, that so many of your drivers are liars?
A text arrived of a failed attempt to deliver. I was at my front door moments later and noone was there. And guess what, neither of my cameras showed an attempt to deliver, as it was a lie. #evri #liars

Writing about the 2022 gilt crisis and whether any longer term effects are still being felt by pensions schemes. If you would like to discuss changes in investment and risk strategies as a result of the crisis, send me a DM. #journorequest #pensionscheme #Investments #gilts
