[countygump]

Looks like this morning's newspaper headlines have caused yet another U-turn!

In fairness Eli, they never said Penchies wouldn't receive the promised rise, they just said ''nothing was off the table'' as politicians do. Phewwwwwwwwww






Prime Minister Liz Truss is facing MPs in her first Prime Minister's Questions since being forced to ditch her flagship tax cuts from the mini-budget
At the end of her clash with Starmer, Truss said she was "completely committed" to raising pensions in line with inflation, per the "triple lock" guarantee.

In fairness Eli, they never said Penchies wouldn't receive the promised rise, they just said ''nothing was off the table'' as politicians do.

But they were clearly planning it. The outcry in the press seems to have caused a rethink, especially as a lot of the harshest criticism came from Tory papers like the Mail, Express and Telegraph.

Who knows, it's a ploy Gov's often use.

They start off with: ''These cuts are gonna be bad, like Biblical bad, like Armageddon, fire and brimstone bad''.

Then they turn out to be not half as bad as expected and the suckers that we are feel we've won some sort of victory, when in fact they are still taking more from us.
