Last Thursday marked #GenderPensionGap Day – the point in the year when retired women have, in effect, stopped receiving a pension compared to men. That’s a £7,600 annual shortfall – over 4 months without income. Time to fix this. filab.uk/4lJBwYI

We've written to the Pensions Commission with partners in the Better Pensions Coalition. We celebrate its mandate to tackle inequality and poverty, ask to participate in the consultation process, and make the case for climate change to be considered. filab.uk/41HfmyW

Hats off to @Everton for taking this step to guarantee all of their staff security when they retire! #LivingPension Now it’s time for the Pensions Commission to recommend that the government follows suit to ensure that everyone can retire with dignity.

A new report from @WomensBudgetGrp finds that nearly all the gender wealth gap is due to differences in pension wealth - with men holding £67,000 more pension wealth than women on average (a 43% gap). Read more here: filab.uk/450vMn2

filab.uk/3IHRd4Q Watering down financial regulation won’t lead to inclusive growth and it won’t improve living standards. But it does risk repeating past mistakes - mistakes that led us to the 2008 financial crisis.

Tweaks to a broken system won’t fix the UK’s credit crisis. Voluntary market fixes have failed to deliver fair, affordable credit for millions. It's time for bold, systemic change. Read our latest blog: filab.uk/4llAZg8 @FBfACampaign #FairBankingForAll

The government is right. Our pensions system is unfair and inadequate. It’s driving poverty, inequality and climate destruction. Will the newly announced Pensions Commission rise to the challenge? Read our CEO, @JesseLGriffiths’, take: filab.uk/3Ur0JvI

The new Pensions Commission must tackle the inequality at the heart of the UK’s pension system. ~2/3rds of pension wealth is held by the richest 10%, while millions face hardship in retirement. Read our statement from @MarloesNicholls, Head of Advocacy: filab.uk/46YlcPU

Our economy needs a boost. But slashing financial regulation isn’t the answer. That just sets us up for another 2008-style crash.

The recent heatwaves across the UK and Europe show us that the climate crisis is accelerating. We need central banks to use their powers to better align finance with a safe, just and green future.
