#triple lock

Insane that the same people who think the welfare bill is too high and should be cut are the ones who make up most of the cost.

Fuck them kids, granny needs her cruise!

Why do Tory politicians love the phrase “triple-lock” so much anyway?

[ratantics]

Labour might as well just go full scorched earth since they've completely fucked their chances of winning the next election.

Scrap the triple lock, tax the rich to kingdom come, rejoin the EU etc.

Labour's fucked

the country's fucked

the whole fucking world is fucked

so fuck it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Living in the UK genuinely feels like living in a fucking care home that has been taken over by the residents. Young people get fuck all, but we still get blamed for everything that goes wrong.

If there is a shadow government running things from the behind the scenes then I can guarantee you it's less Illuminati and more Sanford Council.

Eventually someone is gonna have to take one for the team and scrap the triple lock.

It would kill their chances of winning the next general election but they would be remembered as heroes for putting country before party.

Or a certain someone could just go full scorched earth and scrap the thing now since neither he or his party will be sticking around for much longer.

It'd be like a reverse Brexit.

Instead of fucking everyone else over to try and help yourself you'll be fucking yourself over to try and help everyone else.

At least try and do something good with what little time you have left in government.

Reform UK pledges to cut welfare to keep pensions triple lock

Leader Nigel Farage said the party had reached a "settled position" on the triple lock after debating scrapping it.

The concept of cutting cheaper benefits that are there to help everyone in order to fund the most expensive benefit that's only for people who will never work again and won't put any of that money back into the economy.

"Let's just pretend that the last 14 years never happened and blame everything on the budget"

Seems to be the current mood at the moment and I'm getting a bit sick of it tbh
