“They shall not pass.” 90 years ago today, as antisemitism and fascism were on the rise throughout Europe, Oswald Mosley’s racist British Union of Fascists planned a provocative march through the Jewish community of East London.

Burnham going after those on one of the lowest state pensions in Europe is peak Centrism. And of course it’ll allow any future Tory or Reform government to much more easily give pensioners a further kicking. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c6...?

Burnham says existing pension triple lock will end in 2030 to help fund national care service
Under the plan, the state pension will continue to rise each year in line with inflation or by 2.5% - but the annual earnings link will be dropped.
