If people have any form of cash savings, your bank is, it's highly likely that's the worst place on earth.

You could leave your money in your bank's current account.

If you're looking for a straight talking podcast about money and pensions, you've just found it.

On the Pension Confident podcast, we get into the personal finance

questions that really matter. Join me, Philippa Lam, for the Pension Confident podcast. Find us wherever you

get your podcasts. Mr Speaker, in light of additional information in emails written by Peter Mandelson,

the Prime Minister has asked the Foreign Secretary to withdraw him as ambassador to the United States.

This is a story about judgment.

The emails show, Mr Speaker, that the depth and extent of Lord Madison's relationship with Geoffrey Epstein is materially different

from that known at the time of his appointment.

It's about the judgment of the now former UK ambassador to the US Lord Mandelson and his decision

to maintain ties with the late convicted paedophile and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

And in light of that, Mr Speaker, he has been withdrawn as ambassador with immediate effect.

But more importantly, at least politically, it's about the judgment of the Prime Minister,

on display once again at the dispatch box earlier this week.

I have confidence in him and he's playing an important role in the UK-US relationship.

Sarkia Stama's judgment or lack of it is once again in question.

You might say he's in a political fix.

So welcome to the show with me, George Parker, and my FT colleagues, Deputy Political Editor Jim Pickard.
