The prime minister is set to announce "a series of measures to make life easier" for those struggling with the cost of living in the coming days, Downing Street says. Burnham is also likely to face pressure for more action on the cost of living – although significant interventions are unlikely before October's Budget. "The prime minister is going to be in listening mode to help inform his 10-year plan to bring back hope and make Britain better off." One of Burnham's first acts in Downing Street was to order a review which limited the range of people who would be eligible. Downing Street said on Saturday night that position remained unchanged, despite reports the prime minister could revisit the case.
