Andy Burnham has used a speech to call for a major change to the state pension triple lock, the mechanism guaranteeing UK pensions rise by the highest of inflation, earnings growth or 2.5%. The proposal has drawn attention as the triple lock is one of the most costly and debated commitments in British welfare policy, with critics and supporters weighing what altering it would mean for pensioners and public finances.

Why now: Burnham is positioning himself as a contender in the UK Labour leadership debate, making his pension policy stance newsworthy.
