💰🧓📺This Sunday, on Trevor Phillips’ morning seat-warmer for the Westminster elite, three MPs wrinkled their brows and grumbled about pensioners still clinging to that pesky triple lock scheme—you know, the one that keeps elderly people from freezing to death or living off leftover cat food. 🥶🐟

Apparently, ensuring dignity for the generation that built the country is just too much to bear. Meanwhile, the last parade of Conservative Prime Ministers—each one less durable than a Lidl toaster—walked off with golden payoffs and pension pots bigger than most people’s lifetime earnings.

🪙 Lock It Down for the Poor, Open It Up for the Political Failures

Let’s break it down. The triple lock guarantees pensions rise by whichever is higher: inflation, wage growth, or 2.5%. It’s not a goldmine—it’s a lifeline.

But according to these MPs, it’s just too generous. This from the same political class where Liz Truss lasted 44 days and is still getting a lifetime pension and £115,000 annual allowance—for crashing the economy harder than a clown in a dodgem.

Imagine lecturing pensioners on fairness while former PMs live like minor royalty after burning down the house and claiming insurance on the ashes. 🔥🏚️

What’s really bothering them isn’t economic policy. It’s the idea that ordinary people might still get something the political class can’t cut, raid, or means-test into oblivion. How dare Doris from Doncaster get a £12.50 raise when a failed Home Secretary only got a £35k severance cheque and a seat in the Lords? 😤

🧨 Challenges 🧨

Are MPs seriously asking pensioners to tighten belts while they waltz off with golden parachutes for failing at their jobs? Is the triple lock the problem—or is it the triple-dipping political class that’s allergic to accountability?
