Rishi Sunak has said the pensions triple lock will remain for the rest of the decade if the Tories win the general election, insisting it was “affordable”.
In just a few weeks’ time, the Conservative Party has a chance to do something almost unimaginable in the current political environment: win an election. While the May local elections are widely expected to result in huge losses for the Tories, in London, mayor Sadiq Khan is vulnerable.
The Conservative Party is toast. There is no path to a Tory victory. Rishi Sunak cuts an increasingly tragic and isolated figure. I write this with great sadness, but the Prime Minister has never looked so powerless, so unable to command the country’s attention. His podium speech on extremism was ignored by Scotland Yard.
