Thing is the Tories would have probably had to do exactly the same thing if by some miracle they won the last election. Public finances and in tatters thanks to 14 years of destroying the country, so a few rich could get richer.

Anyway Sir Paul and Sir Elton and other pensioners are more than protected by the 'triple lock' which more than cancels the WFA loss. So that's all good (for them).

Young people today probably won't get any state pension. But are expected to fund current pensioners. It stinks tbh.
i hear that the government are going to drastically cut NHS pensions so that should cheer you the young uns up
