Kemi Badenoch pledges to retain state pension triple lock

Kemi Badenoch pledges to retain state pension triple lock

Kemi Badenoch has pledged to keep the state pension triple lock indefinitely, creating a clear election divide with Labour. New analysis suggests Prime Minister Andy Burnham's plan to scrap the triple lock in 2030 could cost some younger workers up to £38,000 in retirement. The Conservative leader stated that welfare reform ought to concentrate on increasing employment rather than altering the pension system.
