Survation: NEW: ‘Where will the public land on Andy Burnham’s Triple Lock changes and National Care Service plans?’1/

Reposted by Mitz

Resolution Foundation @resolutionfoundation.org · 30/09/2026

📢 The PM'S promise to amend the triple lock next parliament is good news for the public finances, and for the vulnerable pensioners who lose far more from a broken care system than they gain from a random ratchet on their pension ⤵️

Ruth Curtice, Chief Executive of the Resolution Foundation, said:
“The triple lock is a terribly designed policy that has cost far more than originally anticipated and yet failed to reduce pensioner poverty. The Prime Minister has been under pressure to show that he can take tough decisions on public spending – and scrapping the triple lock is a good way to demonstrate that.
“Recycling the savings from scrapping the triple lock into social care will especially help vulnerable pensioners who stand to lose far from a broken care system than they gain from a random ratchet on how the State Pension is increased.”

An inconvenient truth for the racists and xenophobes. Low birth rate in the UK inevitably means fewer young supporting ever more older people. Immigration brings in young people and eases the problem. Without it, everyone must work longer.

If Man City are guilty of all 115 FFP breaches what will be the penalty? Points deduction? Everton we deducted 12 points in '23-'24, so should be way more than that. Retrospective stripping of titles?

More confident than I have been for some time that Farage will never be Prime Minister.

A series of graphs from a YouGov poll that shows that in any match up where only two parties have a chance to win a constituency, Reform would lose to all other parties.

An estimated 1.4 million people aged 16+ were stalked in the year ending March 2025 alone. That’s why we're strengthening our response, expanding the use of Stalking Protection Orders and investing in specialist Protection Order Teams to better protect victims and bring perpetrators to justice.

There's an argument for calling them masked thugs, because that is factually true. There's an argument for calling them pathetic cosplaying loser incels, also true, and laughing at them damages their tough-guy self image and hurts recruitment. There is no argument for calling them protesters.

Any compulsory voting option should be accompanied by these changes: - proportional rep. - voting over weekends - 'none of the above' option - educational programming on all public service broadcasters to explain the role of councils & MPs - mail in voting for carers. Then can it be fairly enforced
