The SNP has urged the Prime Minister to go “further and faster” on the cost of living, claiming families in Scotland will see “no meaningful benefit” from measures announced in his first week.

In his inaugural Cabinet meeting, Andy Burnham told ministers they would be a “cost-of-living Government”, before announcing plans to cut VAT on electricity bills.
