Can't go on for ever, or can it?

Will it stay forever or will it not.
The triple lock Guarantee for Pensions well it seems like it may not be a guarantee for the future.
But as there are millions o folk who never get a pay rise all year so why should the pensioners get this amount every year, somethings have to come to a end.

Here you go Arthur...

The triple lock was introduced by the coalition in 2010 and was a guarantee to increase the state pension every year by the higher of inflation, average earnings or a minimum of 2.5%.

So if it went up 1% instead of the 2.5% would all the pensioner's by happy.
As like anything in life you have the rich pensioners and the poor ones, some will still be fine and others will not.

Let's continue to guarantee our pensioners 2.5% increase every year and instead close some of the loopholes for tax dodgers.
