Kemi Badenoch's suggestion of means-testing the pensions triple lock raises alarms among Conservatives, as it threatens support from older voters and overshadows her party's universal promises.
Altmann emphasized the importance of clarity regarding means-testing. 'What we urgently need is clarification of what on earth she means...' stating it could undermine the flat rate pension strategy.
Badenoch criticized the Labour government's means-testing for winter fuel payments, highlighting that it adversely affected those genuinely in need, saying it led to essential payments being revoked.
Torsten Bell criticized the idea of means-testing, asserting that 'No one who thinks for five minutes can believe means testing the state pension is a good idea,' reflecting widespread discontent.
