Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
Andy Burnham delivered his first Labour conference speech as leader, saying it was time to draw a line on a decade of division and offer belief and hope. In an emotional address less than two weeks after his father's death, he promised to adjust the pensions triple lock from 2030 to pay for social care reform, keep it unchanged for this parliament, and use savings to build a national care service, with the state pension rising by at least prices or 2.5% and holding its value relative to earnings. He also announced a strengthened water bill to remove barriers to public ownership of water companies, a national energy plan, a new Great British Grid, action on rough sleeping and home ownership, and the removal of VAT from electricity bills this Thursday. Kemi Badenoch said he had delivered a speech for the Labour Party rather than the country and criticised the triple-lock change, while Nigel Farage said on X that Burnham would cut pensions.
Separately, the IOPC gave an update on the A66 crash that killed two police officers and five young men, saying there was no suggestion the collision resulted from direct police conduct and no stinger was used, and that two expert reports were underway. At RAF Fairford, checkpoints and a police cordon remained around Welford after five men arrested over an alleged bomb plot were released on police bail when no explosives were found. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio told Fox News a foreign actor was clearly behind the plot, and counter-terrorism police continued to examine whether anyone involved was knowingly or unknowingly working for a foreign state.
Former world snooker champion Graeme Dott was jailed for seven years for historical child sex abuse. The 49-year-old was sentenced at Edinburgh High Court for multiple incidents against a girl and a boy between 1993 and 2010, including abusing a primary school-aged boy around the time he won the world title in 2006 and abusing a girl who was nine at the time; the court heard he told her no one would believe her.

new plan now it'd be 3.8% rather than 4.8%, so that is controversial and of course, as he pointed out in the Labour manifesto, it's pretty clear, it says Labour will retain the triple lock for the state's pension, so that was bold, there's probably a lot more detail actually, we were expecting, we were expecting just a review on the triple lock but he went further than we
