Andy Briggs, CEO of Standard Life, warns Labour not to risk pension stability ahead of the next Budget, as rumors of change could trigger panic withdrawals—costing savers dearly in taxes and undermining retirement security. With current rules allowing 25% tax-free cash, any looming policy shifts might force people to pull money out prematurely, locking them into worse tax positions. Briggs recalls how past speculation led to widespread mistakes; when people fear “goalposts are moving,” they save less and act impulsively. Stability is key—uncertainty now could derail decades of financial planning. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
