Badenoch’s triple lock comments: Lib Dems launch new poster van attack ad outside CCHQ

EMBARGO: Immediate Release

The Liberal Democrats have today (17th January) launched a new attack ad with a poster van outside CCHQ after Conservative Leader Kemi Badenoch said that she would look at means testing the triple lock.

The Liberal Democrats have said Badenoch’s comments will “send a shiver down the spine of pensioners” and that the Conservatives “want to come after their state pension”.

The poster pictures Kemi Badenoch and an elderly woman with the warning: “don’t let the Conservatives wreck your pension”.

Liberal Democrat Care and Carers spokesperson Alison Bennett MP, who launched the poster van outside CCHQ today, said:

“Kemi Badenoch’s comments will have sent a shiver down the spine of millions of pensioners across the country.

“Older people have already seen Winter Fuel Payments ripped away by the Labour government and now the Conservatives want to come after their state pension. 

“The Liberal Democrats are proud we introduced the triple lock to protect people’s pensions. We will fight to protect pensioners from Conservative attempts to scrap it every step of the way.”
