Strategically it seem a weird one too. The pensioner vote is a wrung out sponge, they all vote already and the majority vote Tory. The ones that don't, ain't ever changing now.

Reinstating the triple lock whilst working people get told to put up and shut up will almost certainly lose them votes in every other group.

They must have done the maths but it looks like political suicide to me.
Of course it's ludicrous

Same as universal child benefit

Utterly stupid
