Andy Burnham wants Scottish pensioners to get less so he can fund social care in England - despite the UK already having one of the lower state pensions in Europe. This is what happens when Scotland doesn’t control its own finances. Independence would put those decisions in Scotland’s hands.

Andy Burnham announces end of triple-lock on the state pension from 2030. It will be replaced by double-lock, slower growth in state pension. Full state pension is already less than 50%of the minimum wage. Poverty awaits future retirees. £500bn of taxes not collected by HMRC since 2010.

In Scotland, we provide free personal care for older people without punishing pensioners. Andy Burnham removing the triple lock would simply repeat the mistakes of Keir Starmer. The blame for the UK’s financial mess lies with successive Westminster governments, not pensioners.
