The Tories promised that they'd fix it but did next to nothing even as they sought to all but bribe pensioners with the triple lock pension. Now we'll have the right demanding to know how it's all going to be funded... This needs solving and it would be so good if partisanship could be put aside.

No ifs and no buts, no caveats or provisos. Things are happening here which we haven't ever really seen before. Burnham is saying the things that are considered unsayable and doing the things which are considered undoable.

Incidentally, Burnham referring to the two previous conference votes on proportional representation is a tribute to the diligent work of campaigners in the party. They worked extremely hard to build a base of support in Labour, against the odds.
