Watch: How did Burnham's speech go down in the conference hall?

Andy Burnham told delegates that the government intends to scrap the pensions “triple lock” as part of an emotional pledge delivered at his inaugural Labour conference in the role of prime minister. He linked the policy shift to the recent passing of his father, saying he wishes to honour his father’s legacy by establishing a new national attraction financed through pension savings earmarked for 2030. In addition, Burnham unveiled a proposal to lift the ban on public ownership of water companies and outlined a measure aimed at reforming the United Kingdom’s electoral framework. BBC correspondent Jack Fenwick described the reaction of Labour MPs and party members gathered in Liverpool to the series of announcements.
