Sick of them refusing to address the actual problem. Triple lock costing too much money right now? I know let’s fix it by reducing the amount of people claiming it for an extra year, years from now. Punishing the very people actually contributing the tax revenue to pay for the pension and the triple lock today.
If you are spending too much money now you either need to reduce the money being spent now by binning the triple lock or increase taxation this year and be hones thats what its (part) paying for. Except you too chicken shit to do that.

But what about our fiscal rules??!?
The completely made up and arbitrary fiscal rules? The ones we could change at any moment, for say, defense spending?
Or a projection shifts a percentage point so Reeves magics a few million from here or there and poof! Everything is OK again.
Just promise this time you really will increase petrol duty and suddenly everything is affordable. Until you bottle it again
