AGP Executive Report
Last update: an hour agoLabour Conference Fallout: PM Andy Burnham used his first conference speech to pledge a major pensions reset from April 2030, ending the earnings link in the “triple lock” to fund a free-at-the-point-of-use National Care Service, a move already drawing attacks from Reform and Conservatives and raising fears of a political backlash with older voters. Energy & Industry: Burnham also unveiled the publicly owned Great British Grid to speed electricity connections and cut costs for manufacturers, while Make UK warned the real test is near-term delivery ahead of the Autumn Budget. EU Reset: Burnham said Brexit “has done more harm than good” and promised to lay out options for closer EU ties, as a cabinet minister admitted the current EU settlement “is not working.” Immigration & Refugees: The Home Secretary reopened a capped Palestinian resettlement route, prioritising vulnerable arrivals, prompting warnings about radicalisation and antisemitism. Security: The RAF Fairford incident remains in focus after five men were released on bail amid claims of possible foreign involvement. Local Impact: Flood alerts hit North Wales as heavy rain and strong winds are forecast. Public Services & Housing: Plans also included council housing expansion and tighter protections for leaseholders, alongside calls to strengthen schools funding after analysis flagged losses since 2010.
