Partially political and potentially a little ideological, I suspect.

Political because NI is a regressive tax, so reducing it shows they're in the interests of working people before the election.

And potentially a little ideological because the framing of national insurance is that it pays for a public pension, which they're not a big fan of?

How do you explain the triple lock then?

(I’m not really serious, I think it’s clear that the current government like the state pension for those who are already receiving it, but young people can fuck off if they think they’ll be getting one).

Yep! "Demographic ageing is a bitch, why don't we let the private sector deal with it"
