Ping pong, poetry, and partial u-turns

About this episode

Tom and Nick discuss the lackluster Commons debate on the Pension Schemes Bill and the opposition from Railpen and LAPFF against BP's chair ahead of the AGM.

Tom and Nick return from the Easter break to find the Pension Schemes Bill's Commons debate a bit of a damp squib, with the government sweeping aside Lords amendments and the Conservatives pledging repeal if they win the next election. Plus, Railpen and LAPFF line up against BP's chair ahead of the 23 April AGM. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
