Andy Burnham a anunțat eliminarea cotei TVA la electricitate

UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham announced the removal of VAT on electricity bills starting in October, aiming to reduce household costs by £45 annually. The government claims this will be funded by scrapping a digital identity project, though former minister Darren Jones questions this funding source. Additional measures to alleviate living costs are also being prepared, including transport fare caps and potential rent controls. Northern Ireland will not directly benefit from the VAT removal but will receive equivalent funding for local support programs.
