Andy Burnham is expected to announce when the pension triple lock could end.

Andy Burnham is expected to signal to Labour that the pension triple lock does not work in its current form and indicate the exact year it could end. The Prime Minister will use the announcement to set out his position on one of the welfare system's most significant policies.

The Tory leader Kemi Badenoch has accused Burnham of making unfunded plans for a new social care service. She stated that the triple lock remains current Conservative policy and is included in their draft manifesto, positioning it as a key dividing line between the parties on pensions and social care funding.
