Burnham sets out priorities: New UK PM addresses cost of living crisis

The UK's new prime minister, Andy Burnham, has begun setting out his priorities—starting with the cost of living. His government says it will scrap tax on domestic electricity bills from October, saving a typical household around 60 dollars a year. However, critics are questioning the feasibility of the funding plans for the scheme.
