The state pension triple lock is “utterly unaffordable” and will “bankrupt” Britain, a 72-year-old Tory MP has blasted.
Sir Edward Leigh demanded his party make “difficult decisions” for the nation’s 12.3million pensioners after payments rise 10.1% in April.
In a hardline speech the MP also attacked people “choosing not to work” - and to shouts of protest, suggested once again that the NHS should be replaced with a French-style ‘social insurance’ model.
