Is this another pinch of salt headline? Labour have committed to the triple lock for five years. This will guarantee state pension increases for the next five years. My EDF direct debit has just been reduced by 25%. You dont have to read very far beyond the headline figure to realise that the projected number maybe only half the headline figure, and not yet, but in five years time. I would like to see the calculations behind the headline figure.
In my own case, I lost £300 which I didnt really need. My EDF direct debit has been reduced by £480. The state pension increase next April is confirmed to be 4.1%. I am expecting a £470 increase. So even after taking account of the lost £300, I will still be £650 better off.
This is clearly a dead horse headline that the media seems determined to continue to flog, despite the facts.
We all, or mostly all, moaned about the sleaze, chaos & lies of the Tories, Johnson & Truss in particular. A new Labour Government has arrived & is trying to address the utter mess the Country's finances are in, & all the Media can do is knock them - & worse than thar, there are a lot of gullible people who believe it all.
Most of us are better off than we could ever dared dream. And there is financial support for all those who are struggling.

100% agree with @HAYSIE here.
The "knocking copy" of the Media is intensifying.
