Should pensioners continue receiving the State Pension triple lock?
The state pension triple lock ensures the basic state pension increases annually by the highest of average earnings growth, CPI inflation or 2.5%. Recent reports highlight pressure to reform it due to an ageing population, with the cost projected to reach around 9% of GDP in coming decades. Discussions link this to challenges like youth unemployment and the relative wealth of many pensioners compared to working-age households.

Nobody should get an automatic rise every year, including benefits. Pay into your pension for life and those who don't get more ,re pension credit! Stupid
Why should we continue to give Boomers such benefits, when they pulled the ladder up on us? Live with the consequences of your actions. Live with those you abandoned. Live with inflation and stagnating wage increases. Consequences are real.
