Scots pensioners who carry on working after retirement age are set to be an average of £2,300 worse off over the next two years because of three broken Tory promises, Labour has claimed.
Ahead of local council elections Labour has highlighted how in 2019 the Tories promised to keep the “triple lock” on state pensions, not raise National Insurance and to “introduce new measures to lower energy bills” - none of which have been honoured.
Jonathan Ashworth MP, Labour’s Shadow Work and Pensions Secretary, said: “ Boris Johnson has abandoned his promise to help Britain’s retirees with the cost of living crisis.”
