Europe riots: Italy sends in MILITARY to ‘DEFEND’ Milan from masked gangs as city TRASHED by thugs
Italy is sending 500 military personnel to defend Milan from rioting gangs, Giorgia Meloni’s government has announced.
Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini said he was turning words into deeds after a promise to crack down on the riots.
After a weekend of street violence, which saw thousands of masked thugs loot and trash stores, set fires and attack police, the government brought forward an emergency decree that would ban public gatherings, extend preventative detention to minors and defer arrest for those committing criminal damage.

What a week in Washington! GB News is joined by political commentator Mally Smith to break down three major stories with consequences for America, Britain and the wider world.
First, we examine the U-turn over plans to livestream the execution of Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan. Why did the proposal face such strong opposition, and could turning an execution into a public spectacle create propaganda opportunities for terrorist groups?
Next, we look at the growing tensions over Ukraine. Donald Trump’s reported diesel deal with Russia, the future of US intelligence sharing with Kyiv, Starlink and Starshield access, and the debate over pressure on Volodymyr Zelensky all raise questions about Washington’s approach to the war.
We also discuss the wider conflict with Iran, the challenge of negotiating with Tehran, and the strategic consequences of rising energy prices and relations with Vladimir Putin.
Finally, with the US midterm elections approaching, we assess whether Democrats are on course to take control of the House — and whether they could also make gains in the Senate. With voters increasingly focused on the cost of living, fuel prices and healthcare, could the economy prove decisive for Trump and the Republicans?

It is time to stop paying people who can work, more money than they would get from a job. That is the problem. No work, no money.

Why is it stated that last year's decision to renage the Triple Lock is a one off. That decision will affect every future payment. 10% of 3.1% is a lot less than 10% of 8.8% and so follows forever not just for last year. It is known as "Compound Interest"

It is a cynical attempt to keep the grey vote, we have low, low pensions in Britain. This is no act of kindness.

We have already lost one cost of living rise when they removed the Triple-lock so in effect we will still be missing our money.
I HAVE PAID ALL MY LIFE TOWARDS MY PENSION & THE GOVERNMENT HAS NO RIGHT TO REFUSE IT.

Hello, i am a pensioner, dont think i am being ungreatful but this triple lock payment is 1.1% out of date as i type. Plus we dont get it until April. By then inflation will be 14%+. So its just allowing us to stand still. As for the £300 grant, i dont here anyone complaining about people being paid 80% of their wages to sit at home on their arses for 18 months thinking all theis free money is great. Well the w e f want their money back now.

The only reason why the Conservatives honored the triple lock is because there will be a general election in the next year or so, if the Conservatives get in again they will mess around with the triple lock again as they did last year.

the triple lock was set in stone so we were told the current tory leadership cannot be trusted hunt fmucked up the NHS and now he's got country to play with heaven help us
i have been a life long tory voter but will never vote for them again they can find millions for ukraine and billions to house feed and heat illigal immigrants they cannot be bothered to track down the thousands that just disapear
utter shambles sick to my stomach of them

The 10.1% pension increase will not even cover the essentials just to live, exist maybe.
Its so disheartening to know that this increase was due to political pressures and not on the grounds of compassion.

They know if they renege on this manifesto promise they will be toast, pensioners have the time and the will to go to the polling stations and vote them out, and yet yesterday Clarke was saying it was madness to pay pensioners the triple lock, a man who was elevated to the unelected house of lords and getting paid up to 6k a month plus expenses, this a man who has been sucking on the tax payers teat for more than 5 decades. "it's alright for me, but not for thee" 82 years old and and never had a real job in his entire life.

As a pensioner,I am pleased for the triple lock but there are still loads of young people in dire straits because of Sunak and #unt. Hopefully they might{unlikely} follow Boris and Liz out of the door before the next election. Nice dream.

I am a Veteran who protected our country and stood for our rights. Now I am a second-class citizen when compared to asylum seekers and low lives. Give us pensioners what we deserve for our support of Britain and our service to the nation. We cannot live on the pittance that the government gives us!!!

It’s time to get the government to level up pensions. Someone born after April 1953 gets a better pension than someone born before. I’m not only a waspi woman but someone born 14 months after me gets 40 pounds a week more. It does not cost me less to live than someone younger than me. Every incremental increase widens that gap.

Age Concern have very little to do with the campaign to keep the triple lock. The Silver Voices campaign was far more effective.

A pure political move to keep triple lock, Tories are desperate to keep the elderly vote while alienating everyone who works. No more OAP discounts from me I'm afraid. OAP the only ones getting anything. I'll be increasing prices for OAP customers to reimburse my 23% increase in fuel.

There is absolutely no reason to beleive that they won't simply U-turn on this supposed promise whenever they next find it convenient, as they have so many times in the past.
They have proven time and time again that they cannot be trusted with such empty promises on almost any topic you care to name.
Just look at their track record of broken promises, open lies and U-turns.
Simply can't be trusted.

Can someone tell me please. That after working 45 years paying dues and demands I get £141-85, new pension only working 30 years they get £185-15. That is £ 43-30 difference and the gap will get worse over the years through percentage rises, how can this be fair,

Is it not the literal definition of a "Triple LOCK" that is cannot be removed?
Its not like they have done you a special favour…
