Two admission from me
1 I have hadn't heard of the term Triple Lock Pension
2 I've Googled it.
I hadn't heard of the suggestion of it being abolished but I have a friend in the Lib Dems and I intend to email him and ask his thoughts on this.
My own thoughts after reading up about is -
This Government will cut anyone's money but their own!!
The pension is certainly not enough to sustain the current costs of living and how a lone pensioner survives is beyond me.
I'm not surprised they want to do away with the fuel allowance ( I also think the bus passes will go!! )
However the fuel allowance is needed by the aging people in the UK.
Only this morning there has been coverage on the news about people over 65 yrs old ( that's me and hubby ) are more vulnerable in the cold winter weather - but we can't win can we because they want to sell off ( but won't admit it ) our NHS.
So - Umpire, when the Temperatures drop and old people get poorly - we won't have the means to switch on our heating and the NHS won't help u when we are ill because of this.!!
TBH I am bloody fed up with this country who looks after everyone but it's own!
The sooner we get rid of the avaricious gits the better.
They may as well line us all up and shoot us now!
