The Rest Is Money · 311. Why is the US debt crisis a big problem for Burnham? · 6 Sep 2026 podcast

Um and in terms of the the triple lock and how much that adds every year, it's it's in the matched

You know, it's it's often more than ten billion pounds a year that's been added to that bill just from the f how much it goes up by because of the triple lock, which is, you know, not sustainable as you say, that could be money, that could be and it'd still have to go up, of course, every year, the state pension, but not by if it wasn't as much, that would be money to spend on things that he wants to make a real difference with. matched

Yeah, I think you've hit the nail on the head about the the messaging and the storytelling. matched

It's it's about how you it 'cause one of the things we talk about this loads and we talk to Gordon Brown about it, about this broken communities, about people are feeling they're against each other and you know, all of the problems that creates. matched

And actually, I think if this was presented as, you know, we're gonna have to not put up your pension as much, right? matched

So it's still gonna go up. matched

State pension's still gonna go up, but it's not gonna go up as much. matched

And what that money is gonna do is fund this eighteen and a half billion pounds social care scheme, or it's gonna help the build the house the council housing and housing associations, all of these things. matched

Then then you c and that will make people happier and it will make people you know, if social care improves, that's good for older people anyway. matched

And I don't I but I think I think we tr we matched

Well we patronise voters sometimes. matched

I uh uh you know, of course when people think about making a decision to vote, they're thinking about have we got uh have we got a government uh who are doing the best for the country? matched

And you know in every budget, inevitably there's gonna be a hit on you in some way. matched

And so and y and you accept it if you know that there's a bigger purpose here, just to improve everyone's lives. matched

There's lots of older voters matched

Who care enormously about their grandkids and like whether they're gonna get a job and whether they're gonna be able to buy a house and all of these other things. matched

So I think it's around the messaging. matched

And you're right. matched

We've we heard Andy Burnham come in talking about circuit breaking and about you know, he sounded radical when he walked through the doors of number ten and and and uh but and he said some really interesting things on what he's gonna do matched

spending wise, but it's absolutely crucial to now go, right, I have delivered and told you about some things that we're gonna do. matched
