Jeremy Hunt has pledged the triple lock for pensions (https://www.itv.com/news/topic/pensions)will be included in the Tory election manifesto, calling the commitment "very important".
The chancellor said the safeguard would be kept throughout the next parliament under the Conservatives, insisting he was confident the "expensive" policy could be paid for through economic growth.
The triple lock refers to the commitment to raise the state pension every year by wage growth, inflation or 2.5%, whichever is highest.
"Absolutely. We made that commitment to pensioners and we think it's a very important one," he told the BBC's Sunday With Laura Kuenssberg programme, when asked if he could guarantee the measure would be continued

So! Now the Tories want to tempt the pensioners for their vote with a guaranteed pension triple lock? How fickle and stupid do they take me for, it’s an insult to my intelligence. They really have no shame.
