Andy Burnham assumed his role as prime minister on Monday and one of his top priorities is tackling the cost of living crisis.
Keir Starmer’s replacement told The Times he wanted to bring a “tangible” improvement to households, saying “the thing I heard the most on the doorsteps” when canvassing voters in Makerfield was the tax-free personal allowance threshold. While that’s not yet a confirmed policy, it’s clearly one of the options on the table after the new prime minister also removed VAT from household electricity bills.
