No. The Triple Lock was designed to increase state pensions back to the sort of level it had before 1980. It has now done that job. If it continues then state pensioner incomes will continue to rise faster than those in work, which is hardly fair to those who foot the bill through their taxes. From The Guardian: "Why was the triple lock introduced in the first place? The policy was designed to lift pensioners out of relative poverty. In 1979, the state pension was worth 26% of average earnings, but the link with wages was cut in 1980 and before the triple lock it had dwindled to 16% of average earnings. Pensioners were becoming relatively poor members of society. The triple lock reversed the decline and, according to the Pensions Commission, the full new state pension is worth about 30% of median full-time pay. Labour says the new policy, while less generous, will allow it to remain at about 30% of average earnings." https://www.theguardian.com/money/2026/sep/29/will-pensioners-be-poorer-burnham-scrapping-triple-lock
