Why does the pension triple lock have a “ratchet effect”? When inflation rises, pensions follow. When wages catch up, they rise again. Andy Burnham thinks there’s another way to protect pensions. Stephen McNair looks at his proposal.

Russia feels it can terrorize Ukrainians with jet-powered drones and face no consequences. The best response is to destroy the Tsymbulova drone base. But that requires our own ballistic missiles. We don’t have them yet, and there’s little point in counting on partners. So we endure and wait.

This is *not* the result of "the success of Mahmood's reforms", but of earlier measures/other factors. Her proposals could make it considerably *worse* in future years. A few other points linked below.. archive.ph/0psJ8
Falling migration numbers could cost the chancellor as much as £7bn in fiscal headroom as he writes his first budget, The Times has been told. 

Government insiders believe that John Healey, who already faced an uphill battle to balance the books next month, is likely to have an even bigger challenge after immigration significantly undershot projections from the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR). 

The Institute for Fiscal Studies think tank estimated last month that the success of Shabana Mahmood’s reforms, which have seen net migration cut to the low hundreds of thousands, could cost Healey some £4bn. 

Labour sources familiar with the budget process, however, said that the figure was now closer to £6.5bn. The OBR’s migration forecasts have been consistently higher than real numbers in recent years.

Treasury officials, who have long expected Mahmood’s reforms to cause a hit to headroom, described the number as “pure speculation” but did not deny that Healey would have to contend with a larger funding gap than expected because of falling migration
