Summary
Andy Burnham’s government is delivering real relief with VAT cuts on energy bills starting October 1st, slashing average bills by $45 — a major win as winter looms. Building on April’s energy price cap drop, this move signals a serious commitment to tackling the cost of living. Since July’s election, progress has been steady: new worker and renter protections, shrinking NHS waits, falling migration, and cooling inflation at 2.6%. Meanwhile, a nationwide consultation is underway to reform fireworks laws — inviting public input from individuals, businesses, and animal charities.
