    So for now it looks like they are commited to the pensions triple lock. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknews/uk-pm-truss-agreed-pension-commitment-with-finance-minister-spokesman/ar-AA138JCF?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=8937655faa8247358327964fddbe780c

    I am just waiting for the sting in the tail after Truss/Hunt have in effect agreed to put up the state pension by inflation via the triple-lock.

    I hope I am wrong, but it wouldn’t surprise me if the financial statement on 31st October, they don’t put up the age for claiming the state pension by another year or two.

    It doesn’t affect those already in receipt of the state pension (the so called ‘grey voter’) but would save many millions of UK Pounds by basically depriving younger people a year or two of state pension!
