Andy Burnham, the Mayor of Greater Manchester and potential Labour leadership contender, has pledged to scrap the state pension triple lock after the next election. He said that from April 2030 the state pension would continue to rise annually by at least prices or 2.5%, replacing the current guarantee of the highest of inflation, earnings growth or 2.5%. The pledge has drawn strong reaction, with critics likely to frame it as a threat to pensioners' incomes while supporters see it as a move toward fiscal sustainability.

Why now: The triple lock is politically sensitive and Burnham is a high-profile figure, so his explicit pledge to end it sparks debate about pensions and Labour policy.
