this is absolutely nuts: "the UK’s pension “triple lock” was costed at just £50mn when politicians first settled on a measure that has gone on to cost 300 times as much, according to the top adviser on economic strategy at the time" www.ft.com/content/efdc...

Why does the pension triple lock have a “ratchet effect”? When inflation rises, pensions follow. When wages catch up, they rise again. Andy Burnham thinks there’s another way to protect pensions. Stephen McNair looks at his proposal.
