Angela Rayner is not the PM nor is she likely to be. Regardless, it dies not detract from the Tripple Lock being under treat, quite the opposite.

Sorry, let me rephrase, Angela Rayner 'deputy leader' who was speaking on behalf of the Labour party. Yes, you are right, the triple lock is under threat, but not just under Tories as you insinuated. All done, nothing to see, move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tripple Lock is of significance to Expats in Thailand in receipt of a UK state pension, well those that didn’t grass them selves up to the DWP and hence not receiving any increases regardless. A factual news report of the PM’s refusal to commit to including the Tripple Lock in the next Manifesto is not insinuating anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
