In his first Labour Party conference speech as Prime Minister, Andy Burnham set out a radical programme of change, including an end in 2030 to the existing pensions triple lock. He said the state pension would still rise each year by at least prices or 2.5 per cent and hold its value relative to earnings over time, with the money saved used to fund a national care service for England covering personal care costs but not residential costs. He also proposed repealing the ban on public ownership of water companies, a new publicly owned Great British Grid, leasehold law changes before Christmas, a change to the Westminster voting system and a deeper relationship with the European Union. Analysis by Faisal Islam said the triple lock changes would save money over time, while Alison Holt said the care plans lacked detail and the pension change alone would not cover the estimated £18.5 billion extra needed a year; people in South Manchester gave mixed views on the proposals.
