New Prime Minister Andy Burnham is under fire for allegedly unveiling a £96 billion spending plan with little to no costed funding, risking steep tax hikes for working families. Initial promises — from VAT-free electricity to capped bus fares — sound appealing but raise red flags when funding sources vanish, like scrapping a non-existent project. Critics warn of an £18 billion social care bill and billions more for housing and utilities, while the new Chancellor pushes for massive defense spending. Burnham’s team insists all plans are fully funded and tax-cutting, but the lack of clear financing leaves the public watching closely as the financial chess game unfolds.
