Burnham vows ‘everyday fixes’ for rising bills as ‘cost of living tour’ begins ...Middle East

Andy Burnham will begin his summer cost-of-living tour on Monday pledging to provide “everyday fixes” for rising bills.

The Prime Minister intends to spend much of the rest of August travelling the country asking the public how the Government can improve their lives.

Burnham is expected to announce a series of “everyday fixes” to reduce costs, promising to “pull every single lever we can to provide people with some room to breathe on the cost of living”.

On Monday, he will accelerate plans to tackle “subscription traps” by requiring companies to make it easier to cancel subscriptions and provide more information about costs up-front rather than quietly auto-renewing them at a higher price.

The changes, announced in April, had been expected to come into force next spring, but Burnham will bring their introduction forward to January.

Reform UK announces plans to deport all foreign nationals from UK prisons

Reform UK has pledged to deport all foreign nationals from Britain’s prisons, with discussions reportedly underway to free up prison spaces by sending offenders to El Salvador should the party gain power.

Unveiling Reform’s prisons policy late on Sunday, the party’s Home Affairs spokesman Zia Yusuf vowed to “change the law so that those who commit serious crimes like murder, manslaughter, rape and serious violence serve their full sentences”.

He said: “Unbelievably, there are over 10,000 foreign nationals in British jails.

“We will deport all foreign nationals from our jails. If their home countries won’t take them back we will send them to serve their sentences in countries like El Salvador and Kosovo.

“We will use the space created to ensure that serious criminals stay where they belong. Behind bars.”

According to The Sun, Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has opened talks with the government of El Salvador on potentially renting prison spaces.

The plans echo a US policy in which Donald Trump struck an agreement with El Salvador to deport migrants from the United States.

Burnham to vow ‘everyday fixes’ for rising bills

Andy Burnham will begin his summer cost of living tour on Monday pledging to provide “everyday fixes” for rising bills.

The Prime Minister intends to spend much of the rest of August travelling the country asking the public how the Government can improve their lives.

Officials have said he will be in “listening mode”, with a focus on tackling the cost of living and improving local high streets.

The changes, announced in April, had been expected to come into force next spring, but Burnham will bring their introduction forward to January. He will also launch a consultation on adding deceptive discount offers to the Competition and Markets Authority’s list of banned practices.

This would make it easier for the watchdog to punish firms that engage in practices such as artificially inflating prices and then immediately offering a “discount” to make a product look much better value than it is.

The Prime Minister said: “I know people are sick and tired of rip-off discounts and subscription traps. Westminster has got used to telling people that everyday hassles like this are just part of life.

“I don’t think that’s right, especially when the cost of living continues to weigh heavily on so many people’s lives.”
