Badenoch says Tories would keep Labour's pensions triple lock
Original: hamish badenoch
Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch has suggested her party would not reverse Labour's legislation on the pensions triple lock, the guarantee that the state pension rises each year by the highest of inflation, earnings growth or 2.5%. The remark, reported in UK politics live coverage by the Guardian, signals a degree of continuity on pensioner entitlements despite opposition to other Labour measures. Commentators are weighing what the pledge means for the Tories' fiscal positioning and their appeal to older voters.
Why now: Her apparent concession on a costly pension commitment is unexpected and has implications for Conservative policy and election positioning.
