I can understand (sort off) the complete reversal off all of HER new proposals, but can she really ditch a long-standing TORY policy? i.e. The Tripple Lock?

Having made a mess off everything, do they think that gives them Carte Blanche to trash EVERYTHING?

I reckon they are using it as an excuse to junk things they couldn’t in all conscience ditch before …and are using the fiscal prudence thing to cover their tracks !

Now her Home Secretary has *resigned*.

And she has 'confirmed' that they are keeping to the Pensions Tripple Lock.

Now someone on the news has said them increasing by 10% next April, but (and I may be wrong) the rate is set at a date in September, and I don't think inflation was 10% at that point.

The CPI for the year to September 2022 was 10.1% and that's supposed to be the rate to be used for the state pension increase.

Losing the whip should be stopped too because that’s means an MP can’t vote how his conscience says he should 😳
