Triple lock: from privatising the NHS now Farage “wants to come after people’s pensions”

EMBARGO: Immediate Release

Responding to Nigel Farage refusing to commit to keeping the triple lock, Liberal Democrat Treasury spokesperson Daisy Cooper MP said:

"Not only does he want to privatise the NHS, now Nigel Farage wants to come after people's pensions too.

“Kemi Badenoch will certainly be happy that she and Farage have found some common ground when she asks him for a pact.

“Liberal Democrats are proud to have introduced the triple lock, standing by those who have given so much to our society. Nigel Farage would rather abandon them.”
