Blue on blue: Tory infighting erupts over triple lock pension petition (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Infighting across Tory circles has broken out after the party published a petition claiming Labour had pledged to “cut” the state pension following its triple lock reforms. At this week’s party conference, Prime Minister Andy Burnham announced he would reform the triple lock pension if Labour remained in power after the next election. The state pension would still rise each year under a new proposal where the benefit increased by whichever is highest out of inflation or 2.5 per cent. The current
Global bond sell-off: Headache for Healey as gilt yields top six per cent (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The yield that the UK government pays on its 30-year government bond rose above six per cent for the first time in this millennium, putting Chancellor John Healey in a collision course with markets.

The Premier League said Abu Dhabi-owned City used “sham” schemes to artificially inflate revenue and reduce costs by more
Savings from triple lock pension reform to take over a decade (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Planned reforms to the triple lock on pensions will need 14 years before delivering savings worth more than £10bn, new government analysis has shown, as the Prime Minister admitted there was a “shortfall” in plans to fund a new National Care Service. At his flagship Labour conference speech on Tuesday, Andy Burnham announced that he would change the triple lock pension to link it to just inflation or 2.5 per cent, while ensuring it rose in line with workers’ earnings over the long term.
