Andy Burnham expected to signal end of pension triple lock

The Greater Manchester Mayor is set to use his Labour conference speech to signal support for ending the state pension triple lock, according to the Telegraph. The guarantee, which raises the state pension by the highest of inflation, earnings growth or 2.5%, has become increasingly costly. Any move against it by a senior Labour figure is likely to spark a row over pensioner protections within the party.
Why now: Burnham is a potential Labour leadership contender and the triple lock is a politically sensitive pledge affecting millions of pensioners.
