Pensioners won’t forget triple lock steal

WHEN we ask for a 99 but get handed a wafer cone with no chocolate flake, plus less ice cream than normal, that’s a clear rip-off. Dropping the agreed Triple Lock bonus robs current and future pensioners of an agreed uplift for 2021-22. The younger worker now risks paying far higher National Insurance for a lower than agreed pension.

Ice cream shop staff might receive rude suggestions about what to do with missing 99 flakes. Voters will be more discrete when disposing of Messrs Sunak and Johnson’.
