This is why Britain’s men have gone SOFT. We indulge them like babies. Let a self-made working woman get even a sideways look at the forgiveness you lot bathe in YOU POUND-SHOP PATRIOTS. Angela Rayner, poor teenage single mom who pulled her self by the bootstraps: wrong advice, £40k, resigned from dream job. Richard Tice, rich public school man, tax registered in tax heavens: £100k owed + “aggressive tax optimisation.” - no problem Farage, rich public school boy who uses his political profile to enrich himself: undeclared £5 MILLION gift. -that’s fine, apparently

Posting this today while hopefully some you are still with your nans for the bank holiday and can explain it to them. We can replace the triple lock with a double lock, increasing pensions by the higher of inflation or wage growth. Pensioners will still more than keep pace with working people. They are currently racing ahead of them, their earnings increasing faster than those of working people. The 2.5% floor is arbitrary, invented by the Lib Dems in the same manifesto that promised to scrap tuition fees, then adopted by the Tories as a bribe to pensioner voters. The reality is that we can’t target investment and support if arbitrary amount of public money is distributed to all people of pension age regardless of need (and yes, contribution). It has no logic… it will keep boosting pensions faster than the rest of the economy indefinitely, with no ceiling. I am a socialist but the triple lock is just a bribe to dependable voters.

It is time to replace the triple lock with a double lock. There is a war on our doorstep, the boomers want the young to fight, they should pay for it. Workers are subsidising pension increases that they themselves don’t enjoy. Switching to a double lock— increasing pensions by the rate of inflation and average wages—maintains a solid safety net without punishing those we expect to work and raise children.
