The Restore Britain party, led by Rupert Lowe, has proposed abolishing the United Kingdom’s state pension ‘triple lock’ system. The party’s economic policy, outlined in a document titled ‘The Wealth of Our Nation,’ seeks to replace the current mechanism—which increases pensions based on the highest of inflation, average earnings, or a 2.5% floor—with a model indexed solely to the Consumer Price Index (CPI).

Lowe argues the change is necessary for inter-generational fairness and estimates the move could save the Treasury between £2 billion and £3.5 billion annually. While the party maintains the proposal protects retirees’ purchasing power, the shift would result in lower annual increases during years when wage growth or the 2.5% minimum exceeds inflation.
