Triple Lock

Re: Triple Lock

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

If labour get a big majority then maybe they can sort it out

But they got a landslide under Blair and they did very little with regard to house building which was a betrayal in my opinion

they did a lot in a lot of areas. it will take years to sort out the mess that the Tories have left pretty much every public service this time around, so prepare to be disappointed again probably

My wife falls into the WASPI women situation, I don't begrudge any working person a good pension it's what people deserve, but what they did to these women does put me over the top with anger, I don't care that i have to work an extra 2 years (if employed)!!!

But they never actually told any inconvenient truths. They funded their program with PFI. Herein lies the issue, you cant win an election telling the truth.

Well it was being fiscally irresponsible to keep hold of votes

It's pretty satanic

Re: Triple Lock

I can only speak for myself here, but, although I’m hardly wealthy, I can get by on the work and state pensions I receive and it’s wrong that I will receive close to twenty per cent more in my state pension over two years when you see the sort of figures being offered to some of those involved in current long running pay disputes.

They have been lucky in life, they should share their good fortune. F**k expensive cars, Trabants are still the best.

Re: Triple Lock

Absolutely nonsense! No one is ever a failure and only selfish tw*ts would think in such moronic terms.

Sunak's answer is to cut benefits in real terms while maintaining the triple lock.

Re: Triple Lock

With the Tories almost certain to lose the next election, it wouldn't surprise me if they scrapped it. They'll then promise to reinstate it which will put pressure on Labour to do so during their time in office.
