Show Notes
Reform UK solidifies commitment to state pension triple lock, a move supported by six in ten voters, with overwhelming backing from those aged 65 and older. The triple lock guarantees pensions rise by the highest of inflation, average earnings, or 2.5%. Tories plan to maintain it, while Labour hints at phasing it out due to pensions catching up to earnings. The April 4.7% bump costs an additional six billion pounds, raising the full state pension to £12,548 per year. Age UK praises the pledge for benefiting the poorest pensioners, while Tory insiders criticize Reform for funding concerns.
