State pension: Express readers call for triple lock to remain as worries grow | Personal Finance | Finance

“The triple lock is an ongoing commitment, it’s also a Tory manifesto pledge.”

Dan1718 provided an analysis of the future in his argument as to why the triple lock should remain.

He explained: “If the pension rises by 10 percent this year, everyone reaching retirement age in the future – five, 10, 20, even 30 years time – will be 10 percent better off.”

Rayf penned: “Last year Sunak stopped the triple lock because the earnings were distorted to a high percentage, now it’s inflation that’s a high percentage. Next year they will find another excuse.”

While Tabsta said: “Everything else appears to be rising, if the pensions do not rise, how are pensioners expected to pay their bills and eat?”
