A claim circulating online argues that neoliberals want to scrap the triple-lock on the UK state pension, accusing them of keeping wages low and leaving millions in poverty. The post cites government pension spending as a share of GDP across G7 countries, showing the UK and Canada lowest at 4.7%, compared with Italy at 12.8% and France at 12%.
