Pensioner incomes had caught up with non-pensioner incomes by the time the triple lock was introduced.
The triple lock, then, can take no credit for the dramatic fall in pensioner poverty in the 2000s.

All day Piddington's womminfolk have been telling news how they will be terrified of "hundreds of young men nearby, free to come and go as they please." NOT ONE JOURNALIST has asked: "How did you cope when it was an army base? Who came and went then? Nuns?"
Soon as you ask that, all becomes clear.

The people of Piddington have spoken. I say, grant them independence. Border controls. Visas to cross into the UK. Tariffs on goods. No GBP. No NHS. No benefits or pensions.
