Triple lock: Truss looks set to betray struggling pensioners in the middle of a cost of living crisis

EMBARGO: Immediate Release 

Responding to the Prime Minister's spokesperson refusing to say the Government is committed to the triple lock pension, Liberal Democrat spokesperson for Work and Pensions Wendy Chamberlain MP said: 

"Liz Truss has trashed the economy and now looks set to betray struggling pensioners in the middle of a cost of living crisis. 

"This Conservative Government's botched budget has already sent mortgage bills spiraling. It would be a kick in the teeth for millions of people if Truss now backtracks on her triple lock promise. The British public will never forgive the Conservative party if they break this promise. 

"This chaotic Government has to go. Britain needs a general election before Liz Truss and her Conservative Ministers do anymore damage."
