Thinktank says pension triple lock ‘fiscally unsustainable’ ahead of Burnham’s speech to conference – UK politics live

A thinktank has warned that the UK's pension triple lock is 'fiscally unsustainable', which means it is not financially viable. This warning comes ahead of a speech by Labour leader Andy Burnham, who is expected to call for a debate on the future of the pension triple lock. The pension triple lock is a mechanism that determines pension increases, and scrapping it could be used to fund social care, a key policy area for the Labour Party.

Why it matters

The thinktank's statement and the PM's expected call for debate suggest a potential change to the pension triple lock mechanism. This could impact the UK's fiscal sustainability and influence investor sentiment.
