It's That Time of the Year Again.

[Diasi]

The time that the forecasts for the State Pension rise start being mentioned in the new channels.

I get notifications from GB News & some chiefs in the financial sectors, you know, the ones on £1 million a year plus bonuses, are saying that the Triple Lock is unsustainable & that even the entire State Pension should become means tested.

Well my answer to those cretins is that a Triple Lock rise on a State Pension of bugger-all is still bugger-all.

It is. A decent flat rate for all, plus add-ins for those who contributed more, would remove a lot of means testing, but thats too simple.
