💥Labour calls it an “adjustment”💥 Pensioners deserve to know what they’ll lose. Andy Burnham has announced changes to the state pension triple lock from April 2030, with the savings going towards a new National Care Service. The annual guarantee of inflation or 2.5% would remain, but the replacement earnings link hasn’t been properly explained. That matters. Under the current triple lock, pensioners benefit when earnings rise faster than prices and 2.5%. Weakening that protection could mean smaller increases and less income than they would otherwise receive. Social care desperately needs fixing. Families struggling to find decent care know that better than anyone. A properly funded service could bring real relief, but pensioners deserve the full figures before being asked to accept this trade-off. How much less could their pensions grow? What care would be covered? And what happens if the promised savings don’t cover the bill? Reform UK has reaffirmed its commitment to keeping the triple lock. That gives voters a clear choice over this protection for retirement incomes. Calling care “free at the point of use” doesn’t mean there’s no cost. If smaller pension increases help fund it, Labour should say plainly who pays and how much. Fix social care. Protect pensioners. Publish the figures.
