The BBC is reporting that Liz Truss is no longer promising to increase state pensions in line with surging inflation.
Just two weeks ago Truss said she was “committed” to the triple lock. A commitment that pension payments rise by whatever is higher: prices, average earnings or 2.5%.
Her spokesman has now said she was “not making any commitments” on government spending.
Both the Conservatives and Labour promised to maintain the triple lock in their 2019 general election manifestos. So that would be another Tory Broken Promise.
