The highest grocery inflation in a year, so Kemi Badenoch floats the idea of scrapping the triple lock. Two days before local elections at which half or more of those who voted will be pensioners.
But what alternative do they have? The party that has stripped most of them of the Winter Fuel Payment? When Labour councillors were being disciplined for having decried and denounced that withdrawal, then they were advised that it was not a hill worth dying on, since no one would remember it in the spring. We shall soon see about that.
Pensioners might have taken heart from the doubts about Net Zero that were being expressed by one of their number, Tony Blair. But they have known him quite long enough. Whom would he have doing the carbon capture and the nuclear power? And how much are they paying him?
Preach it.
