Chris Mason: Andy Burnham delivers deeply political speech with a personal core

Andy Burnham delivered a deeply political speech with a personal core, reflecting on his father Roy’s life and influence amid his grief. He pledged to overhaul social care in England and announced plans to change the state pension triple lock from 2030 if Labour wins the next election, reducing the annual increase linked to earnings. His speech outlined both immediate goals before the next general election and long-term plans, including electoral reform and investment in the electricity grid.
