Prime Minister Andy Burnham has unveiled a package of 'everyday fixes' aimed at stripping out the 'daily nuisances' and 'rip-offs' he says erode household budgets, fast-tracking new rules to make subscriptions easier to cancel and tightening action on misleading discounts and prices.
The plan targets small, recurring costs that Burnham says 'chip away at hope'. It promises up to £400 million a year in consumer savings through a crackdown on subscription traps.
