The Labour leader has been under pressure to set out whether the triple lock would remain in place under a Labour government, with the issue likely to feature in the general election later this year
The Labour leader, Sir Keir Starmer, has made a crucial commitment about state pensions if he becomes the next Prime Minister. He was asked whether the 'triple lock' would remain in place under his leadership.
Sir Keir has been feeling the pressure to clarify if the triple lock would stay under a Labour government, as this subject matters greatly to many older Conservative voters. When readers of the Mirror quizzed him on this, he said firmly 'we believe in it' and the government 'should stick to it'. These comments come not long after questions were raised for the current Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, to clarify how state pensions could continue to be funded if there are changes made to National Insurance. Finally, Sir Keir said: "I think a lot of pensioners will reflect on the Budget of two weeks ago and say actually we were the losers from this Budget," Birmingham Live has reported, reports Cambridgeshire Live.
