Badenoch to stick with pension triple lock despite dissent within party

The Conservative Party conference has begun in Birmingham, with the issue of the pension triple lock threatening to overshadow the event.

Kemi Badenoch says she will stick with the policy despite dissent from other leading Tories - she was elected as party leader on a platform of backing the triple lock.

Prime Minister Andy Burnham announced last week he would abandon it.
