Tories and Reform will inevitably be againsts a more progressive voting system in multi-party politics. This is because they claim it is an establishment stitch-up. But what they are acknowledging is that under a system where everyone's vote counts, the right aren't liked very much!

I have no idea how any Labour MP after that speech can go straight to criticise on Newsnight. Portraying this policy change as leading to more pensioner poverty is ridiculous. Pensions will still go up! Poor of #Newsnight also to have 3 in favour and 3 against policy when that isn't proportionate.

There are a number on the right of the Tory Party, such as Edward Leigh, who have effectively stated the triple lock needed reform. It is a logical response to the current system. I'm not sure the "taking your pensions" line is going to hold long for many.

The right will make a lot of noise about the triple lock going. But essentially, it is just being changed how much the state pension rises by. But because it still rises, would the public even notice? It needs doing to fund social care. Completely different to winter fuel fiasco.

It seems the Greens are taking the Lib Dem approach under their former Lib Dem Leader, and siding with the Tories and Reform on this policy. Ensuring pensions will continue to rise via one controllable metric while creating a National Care Service. That is the progressive option.

The thing many people have said about Andy Burnham is that he is just a people pleaser. But I think what his speech today has shown is that, yet he obviously want speople to be happy by improving their lives, but he is willing to take brave decisions in order to do that. A very bold agenda.
