@grok @ReemAmirIbrahim Those aren't justifications...
Retirees don't work so why does the average earnings of those who do work matter?
"providing basic security for pensioner incomes regardless of economic conditions." - why? Other people don't get this...
English
Yes, that's the current triple lock for the UK state pension (introduced in 2010 and still in place for 2026/27).
- **Average earnings (May-July growth)**: Ensures pensions rise in line with working people's wages, so retirees don't fall further behind the broader economy over time.
- **2.5% minimum**: Acts as a floor guarantee to protect against years of low inflation or stagnant wages, providing basic security for pensioner incomes regardless of economic conditions.
This setup was meant to restore some of the link between pensions and earnings (broken in 1980) while adding inflation protection.
English
Government pensions are a scam.
Younger workers are paying more and more to fund a system that is mathematically impossible to sustain.
Would you scrap the triple lock?
English
I’d love to visit the UK again.
Where do I go that’s actually still “British”?
(Will I be arrested for saying that?)

Reform, Tories, and Labour have all rowed in behind the (originally Lib Dem) idea that it is smart to continually engorge state spending on pensions, beyond the rate of growth in the economy.
This, mathematically, cannot go on forever.

Reform will stand with our pensioners who have paid into the system all their lives.

The Boriswave must be blocked, ILR must be revoked retrospectively if required.
A Restore Britain Government would do what is needed to protect the interests of the British people.

@cremieuxrecueil I think a triple lock is required for the younger generation, then let the 2 systems fight to the death.

Because what would Britain be without total luxury communism for Boomers?

🚨 NEW: Nigel Farage is set to announce Reform UK will keep the state pension triple lock [@thetimes]

@RollingHedge I am guessing infinite immigrants are calculated in there somewhere.

The triple lock is an unfunded, inflation-linked perpetual bond with no cap and no maturity date.
Every major party just committed to keeping it.
None of them can explain how a shrinking tax base, 9 million inactive working-age adults, and a gilt market already at breaking point absorbs a ratchet that compounds at 4%+ and never gives back.
Lucky for you, GBTT have modelled it over 10, 20, and 30 year horizons.
The numbers are absolutely brutal:

@RollingHedge @reformparty_uk How is this even solved democratically though with the boomer demographics and trends, just seems like incentives for a steady decline.

"Let's have these difficult conversations." Reform UK deputy leader Richard Tice speaks to #R4Today about possibly ending the pensions triple lock after the next election.
English
The answer: "Bottom line estimate: An expat strategically (or "abusively") using voluntary top-ups could realistically take out £8–15+ for every £1 paid in, and in very favorable longevity/triple-lock scenarios even higher. This is far more leveraged than the £1.20 figure cited for typical lifetime UK contributors."
English
@mrcharlesamos @grok If an expat abused "the voluntary Class 2 National Insurance top-up for expats living abroad" scheme, estimate how much he would take out for every pound paid in.
English
Boomer pensioners have taken £1.20 out of the welfare state for ever £1 they've paid in.

🚨 WATCH: Nigel Farage formally commits to the state pension triple lock if Reform UK win the next election "The people to whom pensions are being paid, certainly compared to a younger generation today, are those who have actually worked and paid into the system"

この状況では永遠に自転車を追い越してはいけない‼たとえ30分でも1時間でも。自転車がよけてくれるか、中央線が追い越し可能な白の点線にならない限り💢‼
警察庁が、自転車を抜き時の概ねのガイドラインを示しているが①中央の黄色の線は跨いではいけない②自転車から1m以上、可能であれば1.5m以上 距離をとらなければならない③徐行して時速20Km～30Kmで抜く、とあるが、この動画では自転車は明らかに時速30Km程度の速度、自転車の右側1mをあけると明らかに黄色の中央円をまたいでしまう、なので永遠に自転車を抜けない、という状態で、しかも後ろが渋滞している。後ろに自動車が100台でも1000台でも渋滞しても、絶対に抜いてはいけないのだ‼こんなアホな改正をマジで国民は受け入れるのか⁉

The triple lock is honestly one of the worst policies ever thought of.
Many of the people who say the benefits bill is too high are the ones making up 48% of it.
That’s £150.7 billion so people who had the easiest housing ladder, the best savings rates and the best private pension rates can get a bigger pension than they ever paid in for.
It’s a joke of a policy and I wholeheartedly disagree with it.

All fast food restaurants have indicated a move to AI kitchens starting later this year. At this rate, we’re going to need more homeless shelters.

@ThaBeefGames @blacknredtext Ocarina wasn't very open, Wind Waker is a good example but I think it had more potential there.
The biggest issue with open world is it usually just ends up in wandering around a lot for little benefit. A true adventure game wouldn't require linear progression at all.
English
@blacknredtext Elder Scrolls, FallOut, Ocarina Of Time, Wind Waker, Cyberpunk 2077, Witcher 3.
Open World is good. Just
1.) Make moving around fun or at least fast, instead of a tedious slog
2.) Put MEANINGFUL stuff to do in it.
3.) Don't necessarily abandon all structure to progression.

Wow: President Donald Trump wants the NFL to change its name so that soccer is the only sport named football.
"This is football, there is no question about it. We have to come up with another name for the NFL stuff."
