Andy Burnham's First Major Policy: VAT Cut on Energy Bills and Funding Challenges
Prime Minister Andy Burnham announced an immediate VAT cut on energy bills for six months, aiming to provide household "breathing space."

Burnham also faces challenges in financing increased defence spending and potential infrastructure investment amidst high UK borrowing and fiscal rules.
