New figures I’ve obtained from the Bank of England show a persistently high proportion of new mortgages are set to run past pension age - over 2 in 5 - even as mortgage rates start to fall. Big implications for the adequacy of pensions savings if this continues: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Mortgages: More people face repaying loans in retirement
Two in five new mortgages have terms that will see homeowners still making payments in retirement.

First SoS resignation within 6 months of a new government isn’t that remarkable anymore but there’s some interesting politics in how quickly this has happened.
BREAKING: Louise Haigh has resigned as transport secretary after Sky News’s revealed she’d been convicted of an offence related to a mobile phone six months before becoming an MP. Says it was a ‘mistake’ & she’s sorry to leave under these circs, doesn’t want to be distraction

I think I’m probably one of the few people that quite enjoy civil service ‘timelines’ like this.
This feels like the right thing to do from an economic/policy perspective but risky from a political perspective given the narratives around the Budget.

This is why the pace of AI development at the frontier isn't the point. It's the pace of the rest of the economy and its myriad processes that counts. And why, as the Economist argues, in terms of comparisons to the computer revolution, we're probably in the 1970s not the 1990s 5/5
