His scrapping of the tax relief on pension dividends ruined final salary schemes and in most cases ended them. I remember George Osborne saying before the 2010 election that the Conservatives promised to “reverse the effects of Gordon Brown’s pensions tax raid”…. guess what… they never did.

Successive Governments have gained about £160 billion as a result.
