@philildo.bsky.social#R4Today banging on about #TripleLock
It's all well and good for those whose sphere includes only those with decent private pensions to say the triple lock is excessive, but for the majority of pensioners without the benefit of private pensions to top up state pension, it surely provides reassurance
@cspa-uk.bsky.socialPitting one generation against another is no answer to Britain’s economic challenges. The BCC is right to be concerned about youth unemployment, but a growing economy should provide security and opportunity for young and old alike.
@cspa-uk.bsky.socialBetween the late 1990s and early 2010s, there was a welcome fall in pensioner poverty.
But that improvement ground to a halt around 2012-13 and pensioner poverty has been rising steadily since then

@alangallery.bsky.socialPitting pensioners against the young is a common trope of the right-wing media. But every pound pensioners lose today will be a loss compounded for every pensioner in the future (that is, everyone, including our children). #triplelock #pensions #poverty
@musicayamor.bsky.socialThe debate has been phrased as #welfare versus #defence spending. How about a #groundtax, a #wealth #tax, a #luxury tax… and if it is about welfare- the biggest welfare spending is #pensions. So what about the #triplelock? There are other choices.
