The Conservatives say they can’t afford the Pension Triple lock because it is too expensive.

The UK has the lowest State pension in Europe, the oldest retirement age in the world and is the 6th richest nation in the world.

You would have to be damn stupid to believe that lie.

(with thanks to 'Blade of the Sun' for that one)

@Paulos_the_fog The triple lock is indeed unaffordable long term. It was designed as a temporary catch-up mechanism, albeit where "temporary" was going to be many years ... and we've still got a loooong way to go.

@TimWardCam

What's completely unaffordable is not the triple lock but a government of thieving venal tory fuckin scum!

@Paulos_the_fog They must’ve really given up, if they are thinking of dropping this.
