Andy Burnham to signal end of pension triple lock

Original: BREAKING: Andy Burnham is set to signal the end of the state pension triple lock in his conference speech tomorrow [ @Te

Andy Burnham, Mayor of Greater Manchester, is reported to use his Labour conference speech to signal the end of the state pension triple lock, the guarantee that pensions rise by the highest of inflation, earnings or 2.5%. The claim, sourced to the Telegraph, is drawing heavy attention and controversy, as the triple lock is a long-standing pledge dear to pensioner voters.

Why now: The triple lock is a politically sensitive pensioner guarantee, so a senior Labour figure signalling its end is sparking immediate debate.
