Triple Lock Plus promise is "empty" as Conservatives accused of "hypocrisy"

EMBARGO: Immediate Release

Responding to Mel Stride's morning round, Liberal Democrat Treasury Spokesperson Sarah Olney MP said: 

"The sheer hypocrisy of the Conservatives to claim they are on the side of pensioners is laughable at best and dishonest at worst. 

"Our nation's pensioners have been clobbered by stealth taxes,   and failed on social care - these promises are empty. 

"This is a once-in-a-generation election and we're seeing more and more pensioners back the fair deal being put forward by the LiberalDemocrats, especially where it's a two-horse race between us and the Conservatives."
