Lucy Powell: “This is not what we want to see. This is not acceptable.”

I can absolutely assure your viewers watching this that we are committed to the triple lock, it's in our manifesto.

The triple lock is really delivering for pensioners right now: over the course of this parliament it's set to increase the value of the state pension by around about £2,000 a year - significant uplifts to the state pension.

If you look at the evidence from recent elections – right across the board – it’s clear that whichever party manages to unite its voter coalition is the one that wins.

We have to be clear-sighted about what we’re doing, who we’re doing it for and clearly articulate that every single day.
