#Pensioners lost £500 a year that was never paid back. The #PrimeMinister plans to remove the #TripleLock loading the cost of #SocialCare onto old people. This won’t come close to covering social care #costs & pensioners shouldn’t foot the bill for a #service that benefits everyone. c.org/DDGSyLfvq7

🚨 #TripleLock 🚨

Labour: "free personal care".

Paid for by taxpayers, by slowing pension rises, from a Parliament not yet elected, with no published costings.

Free is doing a lot of work there. What did I miss?

Andy Burnham has proposed a National Care Service for England. But to help pay, he wants to change the way the state pension increases.

#triplelock so pensioners in Scotland will lose the triple lock and what do they get in return? Nothing!
Social care is already fully funded and so Scots pensioners are paying for English social care! You for independence yet?!

The chosen option on the #TripleLock means workers can now at least mathematically catch up and keep up with their grandparents.
And the change makes no difference unless they do.
Watch for an increase to minimum pay next.

A backbench MP needs just five years to build a pension nearly as big as the state pension pays out after a lifetime of work.

And now Burnham is going to scrap the triple lock.

#Labour plans to keep the state pension #TripleLock until 2030, then change how it works as part of a wider social care settlement.
What could that mean for #Pensioners, and for Labour’s electoral risk?

As everyone else starts talking about the end of the #pansions #TripleLock, #Greens start suggesting a triple-lock for rents 🤷‍♂️

#R4Today

#BBCQT There are pensioners who’re struggling but there are also many who are very comfortable. At the #CheltLitFest last year, pretty much an entire large event audience voted to stop the #TripleLock (it can be double-locked). I respect pensioners but younger generations are struggling & need help.

Burnham knows changing the triple lock carries a political cost. But protecting pensions against inflation while shifting billions into social care could leave many people better protected overall. Sometimes governing means making difficult trade-offs. #AndyBurnham #TripleLock #SocialCare

A #NationalCareService needs a #WealthTax – not a regressive #pension reform

#Burnham ’s plan to fund a care system by scrapping the #TripleLock is a bold political vision built on shaky economics

It’s still a #triplelock: inflation, 2.5%, and 10% off for over-65s at Iceland every Tuesday
