SourceThe claim is fully supported by official government documentation (e1, e6, e7) and corroborating news reports (e2, e3, e5, e8, e10). All six propositions are assessed TRUE: p1 (Burnham announced reform plans) supported by e1 and attributed in e2, e5, e8, e10; p2 (removing automatic earnings link) supported by e1, e6, e3; p3 (April 2030 start) supported by e1, e6, e3; p4 (funding National Care Service) supported by e1 and attributed in e2, e5, e8, e10; p5 (current triple lock includes earnings link) supported by e6, e3; p6 (Burnham is PM) supported by e7 and e4, attributed in e2, e5, e10.
