Lord Richard Walker, the supermarket magnate appointed to tackle the cost of living crisis, has quit after just six months — calling the government’s inner workings a bureaucratic nightmare that stifles progress.

Walker urged a stronger, more visible leadership and pushed for relocating policy work to cities like Manchester — not just for optics, but to make it actually work for the nation. His exit signals a major shake-up under Andy Burnham, who’s reshaping the team and steering away from Westminster’s echo chamber.
