Lib Dem triple lock revolt deepens as leak to Sky News seized on by disgruntled MPs
An internal Liberal Democrat document seen by Sky News sets out the pros and cons of the triple lock, with angry MPs seizing on it in a bid to change the party's position.
What the coverage shows
Both outlets focus on Liberal Democrat criticism of Sir Ed Davey’s response to the pension triple lock, but they frame the story differently. BBC News foregrounds Davey’s comments on the policy change itself, while Sky News centres on party unrest and says an internal Liberal Democrat document seen by Sky News is being used by disgruntled MPs to push for a change in position.
