“Burnham’s triple shock,” says the Daily Mail after Andy Burnham delivered the “most Left-wing speech by a PM since the 1970s”. The Mirror leads on Andy Burnham’s vow to “build a Britain my dad would be proud of” but “it’s a crying shame for our nation”, says the Daily Express. The Sun describes the speech, which announced the scrapping of the pension triple lock, as the “locky horror show”. The Financial Times reports that a commission has found that “sham” deals helped Manchester City to “inflate finances by £90m”.
