But before the triple-lock came along, any increase was connected to inflation. If inflation goes up, the there will be little difference between now and then. It is low inflation that creates what are seen as "unfair" increases. It is the automatic nature of the triple-lock that is the problem. Having adhoc additional increases, where there is evidence of a sustained increase in the economy might be better.
