What would Andy Burnham actually do to the pension triple lock? Not abolish it. His proposal would change how pensions rise from 2030, while using long-term savings to help fund social care. Here are seven things you need to know ⤵️ @eastangliabylines.co.uk @stephenmcnair.bsky.social

Seven things you need to know about Burnham’s plan for pensioners

Andy Burnham has radical plans. But he is not ‘abolishing’ the triple lock on state pensions. What are the facts?

It's National Black Dog Day! Every year hundreds of thousands of dogs are euthanized in the US through no fault of their own. Unfortunately black dogs are often the first to be put on death row 😢 Please consider opening your heart and home to a black rescue dog 💙🐾 #nationalblackdogday #dogs

God help us if this goes to a referendum. It will be like 2016 and Iceland 2026 on steroids, billions will be piled in to stop the UK joining any part of the EU. Not just here, those on the right only have to buy out one of the 27 countries to guarantee failure.

The Man City thing opens up a whole can of worms when it comes to punishment. Lets assume that the PL gives them a punishment that they have to accept. Kicking them out or a big enough points deduction to get them relegated means that City have to leave the PL and join the EFL. This is a problem.
