Starmer's vision quest

[Mr Celine]

The triple lock has alredy ended. Most on New State Pension no longer get income increaes aligned with inflation, wage growth or minimim increase.

For virtually everyone receiving the New State Pension Labour have changed it so they only get 80% of the "lock". Labour now taking back 20%.

So we've already ended the tripple lock. But Labour done it by stealth and hiding what they've done by pretending "we should discuss the triple lock" to hide them having ended it.

Both new state pension and 'old' state pension increased by 4.8% this year.
