英国首相安迪·伯纳姆将在利物浦工党大会上发表首次领导人演讲，主题为"希望来自诚实"1，阐述"一代人以来最严肃的英国前景"1。在演讲前，他表示愿意审视取消养老金三重锁机制的可能性，以资助国家护理服务2。然而这一立场遭到工会的强烈反对，Unite工会总书记沙龙·格雷厄姆称此举为"选举自杀"2，工会领导人也警告取消该机制不是"正确的事"1。
他预计将在演讲中宣布推进选举制度改革计划3，计划用比例代表制取代现行的先过半数制3，被称为自1918年以来英国选举制度最重大的改革3。他计划在下次大选前完成改革提案，并将其列入工党选举宣言3。近100名工党议员支持该计划3，而YouGov民调显示下议院议员中53%支持对现行制度进行评审3。
Labour leader Andy Burnham is preparing to deliver his first leadership speech at the party conference in Liverpool, laying out a vision centred on "hope from honesty" 1. The address comes amid significant debate over two major policy areas that will shape the government's direction.
On electoral reform, Burnham is expected to signal his intention to push ahead with plans to replace the current first-past-the-post system with proportional representation 3. The reform proposals are set to be finalized before the next general election, marking the most substantial overhaul of Britain's electoral system since 1918 3. Nearly 100 Labour MPs support the initiative 3, and a YouGov poll indicates that 53% of House of Commons members back a review of the existing electoral system 3.
However, Burnham faces considerable opposition on another front: pension policy. Union leaders have warned that scrapping the pension triple lock would constitute "electoral suicide" 1. While the government has signalled willingness to examine dismantling the triple lock mechanism as a means to fund social care services 2, this approach has drawn fierce resistance from both unions and opposition parties. Officials indicate openness to reviewing the policy rather than committing to its complete abolition 2.
