Tony Blair has urged scrapping the ‘unaffordable’ pensions triple lock that protects millions of pensioners,
his own think tank claims the system is outdated and too rigid for modern life with costs exploding by £85 billion a year by 2070,
the former PM’s report demands it ends after the next election and be replaced by a new ‘lifespan fund’ that forces people to build their own entitlement through work,
Blair’s director Tom Smith said Britain’s state pension was built for a different era and we can’t keep pouring money into a system that is increasingly unaffordable,
pensioners facing rising bills are now told to accept less while the multi-millionaire ex-leader lectures them on restraint,
Thoughts?

@henrywinter Most teams do it to some extent these days but Chelsea and Arsenal take it to new heights.

Game’s lost its way, time-wasting, fouls, bookings, subs. Perfect for Chelsea. Killed Leeds' momentum. #CHELEE

@Awaydays23 @ClassicoDeCosta Was a good day out even though we lost. Made up for it beating Shrewsbury at Wembley in the playoff final in the same season.

Nobody in the Trump administration planned for Iran to shut the Strait of Hormuz. Nobody planned for sustained missile strikes on American bases across the Gulf. Nobody planned for an energy crisis. Nobody planned for Europe to look at Washington, shrug, and walk the other way.
Nobody, it turns out, planned for very much at all.
Read the accounts of how this war was decided and you are left with one deeply uncomfortable realisation: the people who launched it appear to have been genuinely surprised by almost everything that followed. The Iranians shot back. The allies didn’t show up. The oil price went vertical. All of it, apparently, news to them.
Which leaves two questions so obvious they’re almost embarrassing to ask.
What exactly did they think was going to happen?
And did anyone, in any room, at any point, think further ahead than the applause?
