I doubt the Government has the guts to do it but it does seem to becoming unsustainable. The all the savings the government tries to make on benefits the state pension system blows it apart when you have to keep increasing it by the highest possible measurement. If inflation hits 4% the bill is going to explode further.

I think the inequality of in tripling tuition fees and scrapping housing benefits for the under 25s whilst introducing the triple-lock was one of the worst aspects of the austerity program.
