Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch has said it would be difficult for her party to reinstate the pension triple lock if Labour decides to scrap it. The warning highlights the political stakes around the state pension guarantee, which protects pensioner incomes and has been costly for governments. Her comments put pressure on Labour over its long-term commitments to pensioners ahead of potential fiscal decisions.
