Andy Burnham must repudiate the concerted campaign to scrap the Triple Lock. OECD is the latest unaccountable and elitist body to call for the Lock to be scrapped. Read Silver Voices latest opinion column on this devious campaign to scapegoat pensioners.

Collapse of the Silver Vote!

Labour's pummelling across the UK has at its root the calamitous decision to scrap the winter fuel payment as soon as it took office. This monumental blunder has led to the collapse of the Silver Vote, with the majority switching to Reform UK.

Older people are still being caned by the Govt. The much vaunted Triple Lock rise has been eaten up by the April hikes in bills and most pensioners are now being taxed on the rise because of the frozen tax thresholds. Join us today to amplify your voice of protest.

Labour's plans to set up a Social Care Commission are a cop out, deliberately designed to delay any serious action on the social care crisis for at least five years. We are calling for a boycott of the Commission until a new timetable is agreed. See our explanatory video:
