Torsten Bell became a new Labour MP at the last election after nine years as chief executive of the Resolution Foundation, an economic and social policy think-tank
Torsten Bell has been appointed as the new Pensions Minister in the UK, taking over from Laura Trott. Bell, previously the chief executive of the Resolution Foundation, a think tank focused on improving living standards for low to middle-income families, brings a wealth of experience in economic policy and social mobility. His background includes working as a special adviser to Alistair Darling during the 2008 financial crisis, and he has been vocal about the need for pension reform, particularly concerning the state pension age, auto-enrolment, and addressing the gender pension gap. His appointment is seen as an opportunity to address the challenges of an aging population, the sustainability of the pension system, and ensuring that retirement savings are adequate for future generations. Bell's expertise suggests he might push for policies that enhance pension security and fairness, potentially influencing significant changes in how pensions are managed and distributed in the UK.
