Summary
Andy Burnham has led his first Cabinet meeting after his decision to scrap VAT on electricity bills was criticised as 'unfunded', by a sacked ally of Sir Keir Starmer. Also: Russia denies a live firing exercise one of its warships conducted in the English Channel yesterday was timed to coincide Andy Burnham's first day. And the RSPCA says a 'terrified' monkey, which was abandoned in a laundry bag on a London bus, is safe and well.
