## Resource

Andy Burnham’s bold plan to slash UK energy bills is gaining traction as households face soaring costs—averaging £1,849 this winter—with prices still climbing due to Middle East tensions. With energy costs crushing budgets and slowing business growth, Burnham’s listening to the public and proposing a smart fix: shifting “policy costs” from energy bills to general taxation, making it fairer and more sustainable. While global prices may dip, the urgency remains—especially as rivals push back on climate commitments, Burnham’s focus stays on real relief without wrecking public finances.
