Future pensioners to be worse off, government warns
People retiring in 2050 will be worse off than pensioners today, the government has warned, unless action is taken to boost retirement savings.
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) is reviving the Pensions Commission, which first reported nearly 20 years ago, to look at how to tackle the issue.
Almost half of working-age adults are not putting any money into a private pension at all, with low earners and the self-employed less likely to be pension saving, the DWP said.
Sylvanian Families' legal battle over TikTok drama
Sylvanian Families has become embroiled in a legal battle with a TikTok creator who makes comedic videos of the children's toys in dark and debauched storylines.

Rightmove halves house price growth forecast
The country’s largest property search website has halved its prediction for how much house prices will rise this year, with more homes up for sale than at any point in the last decade.
Rightmove, the first port of call for most would-be homebuyers, had previously estimated that UK house prices would rise, on average, by 4% in 2025 but it has now cut this halfway through the year to 2%.
Its data shows that the number of homes on the market is at its highest since 2015 and it is this “high level of seller competition [that] is limiting price growth”. Sellers who are too punchy with their asking prices risk “getting lost among the competition”, it warned.
