Dear Neighbour,
The Conservatives introduced the pensions triple lock — and this government is protecting it. No ifs, no buts. Do you agree with us?
Everyone deserves dignity in retirement. But until 2010, pensioners faced uncertainty about their future and what payments they would receive, like the derisory 75p increase under the last Labour Government.
That’s why we introduced the triple lock, guaranteeing pensions rise every year. And that’s why we’re putting the triple lock in our next manifesto, so pensioners can rely on it under the Conservatives.
I believe the triple lock is essential to providing dignity for people who’ve worked hard all their lives.
But as you’ve probably seen, Labour MPs aren’t sure. They’ve gone back and forth on whether they’ll protect the triple lock. And that means more uncertainty yet again.
So I want to know YOUR views. Do you believe pensioners deserve certainty around the triple lock? Fill in this short survey and let me know.
I will always vote to protect the triple lock and ensure pensioners have certainty after a lifetime of work.
And I will always vote to protect the hard-won gains that pensioners rely on day in, day out.
That’s why I backed the 11.9 million winter fuel payments and cost of living payments that we delivered to pensioners last winter.
This April, we increased state pensions by 8.5%, meaning pensioners get up to £900 more a year.
But if you agree with Keir Starmer, who says he’ll increase taxes on pensioners, then I want to know.
So why not fill in this short survey? It takes just twenty seconds to share your views, and I’ll study the results with my team.
Best wishes,
Mark
