Andy Burnham a ținut primul său discurs la conferința anuală a Partidului Laburist în calitate de lider și prim ministru britanic. El a făcut anunțuri importante despre politica pensiilor de stat și sporirea rolului statului în economie

Keir Starmer's successor, Premier Burnham, has outlined plans to abandon the 'Triple Lock' pension policy by 2030, proposing a 'Double Lock' instead. This change aims to reduce costs amid an aging population, with projected annual pensions reaching £13,000 by 2027. Burnham acknowledges potential unpopularity among retirees but seeks savings to fund a public assistance system for the elderly. Other reforms include electoral system changes, public ownership of water, a new public electricity network, and support for Ukraine. The Institute for Fiscal Studies praised the pension policy change but warned it may not yield enough savings for elderly assistance.
