Statement on the Triple Lock on Pensions

Image portraying tripe lock pension

If the dishonest Labour government scrap the Triple Lock which has assisted pensioners each year since 2011 (apart from replacing the inflation rate of RPI with CPI) which it did thus reducing the pension and if the government increases the level of tax on the state pension it will wipe out the Personal Allowance and pensioners will be be worse off.

The tax which should be increased is from Companies such as Amazon, BP, Shell, Apple, and the Companies owed by Elon Musk.
