New Delhi: Retirement is supposed to be a time of rest, travel, and happiness after decades of work.

He expected to live comfortably on his pension, but large chunks of it go toward his ongoing home loan and a personal loan he took for his daughter’s wedding. Instead of peace, he worries each month about repayments. This is the reality of what we can…

There is no obvious precedent, although Boris Johnson also decided to bring a minister into No 10 in a delivery/enforcer role when he made Steve Barclay his chief of staff. (That appointment was not generally seen as a success.)Keir Starmer already has a chief of staff, Morgan McSweeney.…
