Businesses telling Burnham to scrap the triple lock… thoughts? 🤔

07 Eyl 16:00

So I just saw this headline pop up and honestly my first reaction was "wait, isn't the triple lock supposed to protect pensioners?" But then I started thinking about it more — I get why businesses would want it gone. If wages are climbing every year because of that policy, that's gotta hurt smaller employers trying to keep staff on the books. But here's the thing… are we basically asking retirees to take the hit instead? That feels rough too. Everyone's already feeling the squeeze. Curious what you all think — is the triple lock actually sustainable long-term, or is it one of those policies that sounded great on paper but is slowly turning into a headache?
