Burnham Under Attack for 'Unfunded' Tax Cut Pledge After Vowing to Tackle Cost of Living Crisis Andy Burnham's vow to tackle the cost of living crisis has been met with skepticism, particularly after his government announced an £850 million tax cut on electricity bills without clear funding details.
This move comes as speculation mounts about a new wealth tax, which could bring in an estimated £10 billion but raise uncomfortable questions about fairness and equity.
The energy price cap is set to reach £1,849 for a typical household, prompting Burnham's government to provide some relief to struggling families.
