Andy Burnham set to signal end of pension triple lock

Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham is expected to use his Labour conference speech to signal support for ending the state pension triple lock, according to a Telegraph report. The triple lock guarantees pensions rise each year by the highest of inflation, earnings growth or 2.5%. The prospect of a senior Labour figure backing its abolition has drawn sharp attention, as the policy is costly and politically sensitive among pensioners.

Why now: A prominent Labour politician signalling the end of a costly, pensioner-protecting policy at party conference is major political news.
