All the major political parties, bar the Greens, are currently committed to it.<\/p>\n<p>Tony Blair recently warned the policy is \u201cunaffordable long term\u201d, and Conservative former chancellor Jeremy Hunt said it is \u201cimmoral\u201d due to being partly funded by debt on younger generations. <\/p>\n<p>Pensions Minister Bell previously described it as a <a href=\"https:\/\/inews.co.uk\/news\/politics\/triple-lock-silly-system-pensions-minister-3481836?ico=in-line_link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">\u201csilly\u201d system<\/a> before he became an MP.<\/p>\n<p>The mechanism was originally created in 2010 because the state pension had become too low relative to wages and living standards. But higher than expected inflation and wages growth over the last few years has seen significant rises in the state pension \u2013 by 10.3 per cent in 2023 due to high inflation, 8.5 per cent in 2024 due to wages growth and 4.1 per cent in 2025 and 4.8 per cent this year also due to wages growth.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Institute for Fiscal Studies, the state pension is costing \u00a312bn a year more than it would have done if it had been linked to wages since 2011.<\/p>\n<p>Many pensioners, however, claim that the state pension is their only source of income. <\/p>\n<p>The Resolution Foundation\u2019s new report, shared with The i Paper, argues that \u201ctime should be called on the expensive and wasteful triple lock on the state pension\u201d as it favours retirees over typical workers.<\/p>\n<p>The think-tank\u2019s analysis argues that the triple lock is the biggest driver of higher welfare spending in this Parliament and is set to add \u00a313.8 billion to the bill by 2029-30 in real terms. The report also claims it has not reduced pensioner poverty, with rates rising by 2.3 per cent since it was introduced in 2011.<\/p>\n<p>The Resolution Foundation has long proposed a new system called a \u201csmoothed earnings link\u201d, which tracks wage growth but protects the value of the state pension from temporary price shocks by pinning it to inflation in times of economic uncertainty. A similar system is used in Australia \u2013 but private pensions in the country are also more generous.<\/p>\n<p>In the latest report, Clegg and CEO Ruth Curtice argue that state pension is already at around 30 per cent of median full-time earnings.<\/p>\n<p> \u201cOur view is that level has now been reached, and politicians should find the courage to replace the triple lock with a policy that is transparent, predictable, and fair across generations,\u201d they state. <\/p>\n<p>The report\u2019s analysis suggests the state pension bill is now \u00a312.6bn higher than it would have been under a smoothed earnings link since 2011, and switching to such a policy from next year would be a net saving of around \u00a3650m in 2029-30.<\/p>\n<p>Some Labour MPs publicly, and privately, argue this money could be better spent supporting younger generations, such as the one million young people <a class=\"post_in-line_link\" href=\"https:\/\/inews.co.uk\/news\/politics\/new-benefits-reforms-young-people-4441566?srsltid=AfmBOopvjNBrE25-r16U4F5NEZ45HnXO1k1ROQfVBHxTS7nWgL8VdLXl&amp;ico=in-line_link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">not in education, employment or training in the UK.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t<script async src=\"\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ministers have been warned that they must find the courage to scrap the UK\u2019s \u201cwasteful and expensive\u201d state&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1016033,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[3093],"tags":[51,474,14471,3126,2499,3592,1787,16,15],"class_list":["post-1016032","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-personal-finance","tag-business","tag-finance","tag-pension-triple-lock","tag-pensioners","tag-personal-finance","tag-politics-exclusive","tag-triple-lock","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/116721970372244368","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1016032","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1016032"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1016032\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1016033"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1016032"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1016032"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1016032"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
