Andy Burnham has said Labour would change the state pension triple lock from April 2030, after the next general election, and use the savings to help fund a National Care Service. He says the current triple lock will remain in place for the rest of this Parliament.
Under his proposed replacement, the state pension would rise each year by at least inflation or 2.5%, while retaining its value relative to average earnings over time. The announcement follows a debate within Labour over whether pensioners should help fund social care reform.
Speaking before Burnham’s conference speech, Trevor Kavanagh argued that weakening the triple lock would anger pensioners and risk breaking an election promise. He questioned why the government was considering pension savings while welfare spending continued to rise.

Can Makerfield recall Burnham and sack him?
Did he tell them at the door step he was going to betray Brexit and rejoin the EU?
Burnham is bluffing everyone with his nice guy approach but its all a mask. Everything that goes on in the world affects us more than any other country if you listen to him .Why is that .Why do we have the biggest migrant problem, the highrst fuel and energy costs high food prices. I went to Italy in July and the supermarkets I went in were miles cheaper than here and this was a seaside location. Something is going on for definite
Burnham is playing to 'his crowd' and its working. Looking after the young and lazy. Turning the screw on those that are envied by the lazy. Taking what people have earned and giving it to the workshy. It's a beautiful world for those that lay around all day and definitely worth voting for wouldn't you say...
