Burnham expected to signal end of pension triple lock

Andy Burnham is reportedly set to signal the end of the state pension triple lock in his Labour conference speech, according to the Telegraph. The triple lock guarantees the state pension rises by the highest of inflation, average earnings or 2.5% each year, and any move to scrap it would be highly contentious among pensioners and within the party.
Why now: Reforming the costly triple lock is a politically sensitive issue, so a possible signal from a senior Labour figure at conference is drawing heavy attention.
