Triple lock on pensions dumped now

Not the final nail in the Tory Government's coffin but very nearly.

Next will be working age benefits.

I look forward to seeing all of those Tory MPs voting against the finance bill and losing the whip.

Johnny Mercer for one.

Next will be working time directive. Chope was at it today.

Just think, how good it would be, to be able to work unlimited hours. Save you the worry about going home and having to turn the heating on.
 
Only “dumped” for the time being in BBC language, but even the Tories surely know that ignoring a manifesto pledge to the OAPs yet again means, welcome to Number 10 PM Starmer. 🙂

Pensioner benefits should be means tested. Current system is completely unaffordable with our ageing population.

What absolute nonsense.

Pensions aren't a benefit, it's a social contract. People have paid in for years to get their pension and if they haven't contributed for enough years they don't get full (or any) state pension.

Are you suggesting those pensioners who fail your means test should be refunded their contributions?
