Congratulations to everyone celebrating the end of the triple lock. You won nothing. You will be pensioners one day. Many of you will be renting in retirement. Your private pension won't touch what today's pensioners have. Cutting the triple lock doesn't hurt today's pensioners much. It hits you. Compounding, year after year, until you retire into a system even more inadequate than the one we have now. As Sam Coates explains here, you just cheered for your own poorer retirement. Own goal.

I'm off. This Labour Conference is perhaps the most depressing Labour Conference I've had to listen to. The Country is in a mess, people are getting poorer & these lot are bringing 'Hope' back through their inability to see beyond the walls of Westminster & Conference. Burnham doesn't get it despite thinking he does.

The routine that closed the VMAs was choreographed by Damien Jalet, the same man behind the murder dance in Suspiria, Thom Yorke's Anima, and Madonna's Madame X tour. He's spent 20 years making crowds move like one organism, and most people watching have never heard his name. Watch the clip again. No single dancer performs the wave that rolls across the risers. Each one runs the same move a half-beat behind the person beside him, and the wave is what your eye assembles from dozens of tiny delays. Same physics as a stadium wave, drilled down to the frame. Yung Lean's job is the opposite. He stands nearly still in the center while everything churns around him. Stillness reads as power when the whole frame is chaos. The original Storm video came out in April, directed by Romain Gavras, who builds his films around masses of real people where other directors would reach for effects. Which is the part that hits hardest in 2026. Anyone can generate a scene like this now. Your brain watches it differently when it knows every body on that stage is real and every ripple was rehearsed.
INSANO! Melhor performance de um corpo de dançarinos numa apresentação ao vivo em longa data. O nível de ensaio pra entregar isso!!

The world has never been more dangerous, our security never been so vulnerable and here we have a government crying on cue in order to garner a sympathy vote. I’ve never seen anything so utterly absurd.
Ed Miliband “crying” during Andy Burnham’s speech. What? Why?

I can't be the only person who feels like this. I’m not just ashamed of the British government - I’m angry. Deeply, bitterly angry. They’ve let us down so badly that I feel a surge of resentment the second I see Andy Burnham's face - a sorry excuse for a politician of any sort, never mind a Prime Minister. Watching this government stumble, panic, and embarrass itself on the world stage is humiliating. Britain used to stand for competence, seriousness, and pride. Now we look confused, weak, and utterly incapable of handling even the most basic responsibilities. What infuriates me most is that senior figures abroad can clearly see that Britain is being run by people who are completely out of their depth and unwilling to admit it. We were respected. We were confident. We were a nation others looked to for stability. Today, because of political failures, we’re a country that’s lost its way - and I resent every single one of them for dragging us into this mess.

It’s the rich that are the problem ? They don’t pay fair tax ? MPs are claiming millions in unnecessary expenses for their luxury lifestyle, the conservatives stole billions from the public purse ? It’s not the people on benefits that are the problem …
If you speak up against the triple lock, but not against the 1.3 million foreign nationals on universal credit, or the people with anxiety claiming PIP, then you are part of the problem.

Unelected no mandate Andy cried in his speech and so did I ! But my tears were the tears of laughter as Burnham hammed it up like a fading soap star in his final episode before a future in Panto in ever smaller regional theatres. Pathetic but MSM lapped it up.

Yes. They’ll use anything …
Does anyone else see Burnham's stage tears as a cynical abuse of an emotion which should be private?

What Labour has done today is a DISGRACEFUL way to treat our pensioners. It’s sickening, it truly is. Imagine working your entire life, paying into the system, then reaching retirement NOT knowing whether your pension will keep pace with the cost of living. The Triple Lock was designed to give pensioners certainty. Your nan. Your grandad. People who have worked and contributed for decades should not be left counting every penny, worrying about heating, food or whether their retirement income will stretch far enough. Reform UK has committed to protecting the Triple Lock. Our pensioners have paid in their whole lives, so they deserve that certainty in return. – at Basildon, East

A society that doesn’t look after children, the elderly and the sick, is a failed society
Hang on, are people genuinely saying that the state pension (circa £13k) is too high? Even some of the “lefty” media types. Unbelievable.

Andy - why are you giving the royals another £50 million when our public services are crumbling? No more handouts to billionaire families. Time to scrap the grant. #AbolishTheMonarchy

If they're telling us there is no money left in the fifth largest economy on earth, they're doing something wrong. Tax wealth you bastards. It's what we want, not cuts to our social security.

2 million pensioners in this country, one of the richest in the world, live in poverty. Scrapping the triple lock should never be considered an option until pensioner poverty is addressed.

No migrant will have his benefits cut. Old Mrs Smith who worked for 45 years will though. Absolutely shameful.

It's not pensions you can't afford. It's not immigrants. It's not Disabled People. Or University educations. Or Healthcare. Or Housing. It's billionaires you can't afford, they are stealing all of this and much more.

Notable all those wanting to cut the pensions Are all people who don't have to live on it And never will. But are very happy to live off the backs of the taxes pensioners and the working class pay every day.
