Twitter tattle: What the finance world is tweeting about
From pensions to an economy five years after Northern Rock, we take a look at what advisers have been tweeting this week
Top tweets from the past week show what is on advisers minds and causing lively debate.
With the auto-enrolment date nearing and a new DWP advertising campaign launched, pensions were on more than one mind this week.
@WannabeAdviser Just seen an Auto-Enrolment advertisement on TV, good to see it being publicised to the general public.
@PensionsMonkey With only 3 weeks until Auto enrolment starts. Government is still silent on state pension reform. Cold feet. Like a penguin.
@TheParaplanner Any recommendations for software to manage auto-enrolment compliance? #pensions
Five years on from the masses of people queueing up to withdraw their money from Northern Rock, advisers reflected on the state of the economy today.

Advisers tweeted their tributes to the two police officers killed in the line of duty.
@bristolifa My heart goes out to the families of the 2 WPCs killed in Manchester today. As an ex PC I understand the risks which are great and I am....
@bristolifa ... surprised that tragedies like this don’t happen more often. Much respect to the brave men and women who serve us every day.
@stettip How many more police officers are going to be shot & killed by the scumbags on our streets? RIP two brave ladies Nicola Hughes + Fiona Bone.
