Triple Lock

[Rjk]

So since the Blair years we have seen a substantial reduction in pensioner poverty

It's therefore time for them to take a hit

But they won't because pensioners vote ......and vote mostly tory

You can see why the triple lock is pushed by the conservatives

It's their core vote

Under labour, the percentage of pensioners in poverty halved. Since the tories have been in power it has increased by 38%.

Pretty much all the main parties agree behind closed doors that the triple lock is unsustainable, but none of them want to be the one who removes it
