Is this the best you’ve got? Maybe increase the income of working age families instead. You’re promoting another race to the bottom. Maybe tax the super rich appropriately 🤷‍♂️

If you were to identify the problem here as not that pensioner income has grown by too much but that working family income has grown by too little, the debate would be about something completely different than Triple Lock.

And they wonder why the labour party is on the verge of collapse. Tax. The. Rich.

Disagree. The gap has occurred much more because wages have been repressed. Many more people in minimum wage jobs, fire and hire and the massive growth of zero-hours contracts have played a huge role. The triple lock adds a couple of quid a week to someone’s state pension. No more than that.

7% over 20 years ? This is just a lie , and she knows it.

Boomers ….a derogatory label .

Maybe our contributory state pension was too low 20 years ago compared to other EU countries

No. What should happen is that working age families should have a tripple lock as well so that wages increase by the same percentage. Fuck me you people are cunts of the lowest order. Its never "how can we improve things" its always "how much can we shit on a group". Cunts.

Typical divide and rule. Here's two groups let's get them fighting each other whilst we reduce the size of the support pot.. so we get to give ot ourselves.
