Badenoch says it would be difficult to reinstate triple lock if Labour scraps it

Prime Minister Andy Burnham intends to remove the automatic link between the pensions triple lock and average earnings increases starting from 2030. Kemi Badenoch has responded to these plans, stating that it would be difficult to reinstate the triple lock mechanism should the Labour government decide to scrap it. The proposal marks a significant shift in how pension increases are calculated, leading to warnings about the long-term feasibility of returning to the previous system.
