    How household incomes stagnated in two years of Starmer (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    Higher benefits were the only thing that kept household incomes above water in the last throes of Keir Starmer's premiership. The ex-PM had targeted the metric of real household disposable incomes (RHDI) per head growing over the Parliament. RHDI per head is a measure of what is left after taxes and benefits and the effects of inflation. Sir Keir's goal was widely regarded as unambitious, as it has risen in every Parliament for 50 years - and even stayed flat between 2019 and 2024, which was bli

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    The price of diesel on forecourts has crossed the £2-a-litre threshold as Andy Burnham dodged on whether planned fuel duty hikes will go ahead. The RAC Foundation said the average cost on the Government's Fuel Finder site reached 200.03p this morning. The grim milestone sparked fresh pleas to take pressure off struggling motorists during the Middle East crisis, with the PM saying he is 'considering everything' but has to be mindful of the 'state of the public finances'.

The PM conceded the controversial move to downgrade the 'triple lock' on state pensions - estimated to save the Government £15billion a year - might not cover the bill. He also suggested that the NHS-style care service could take many years to introduce. Mr Burnham unveiled his proposals for a 'new settlement' on care in his big 'vision' speech at Labour conference yesterday. He declared that the tr

    Andy Burnham admitted Britain is facing an energy 'crisis' today - but dodged on relief for families and even hinted at more tax hikes at the Budget. The PM was given a brutal reality check after his Labour conference 'vision' speech as energy bills were forecast to spike another 16 per cent in January. Motorists are already suffering from record pump prices as the Middle East chaos wreaks havoc, while the Bank of England is poised to increase interest rates next month. In interviews this mornin

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    Andy Burnham is facing a Labour backlash as he hints at going 'all the way' and pledging to rejoin the EU. The PM used his big conference speech yesterday to blame Brexit for many of the country's problems, saying he will spell out options for the future at a summit with Brussels later this year. But the move has sparked concerns among his own troops, with Scottish Labour leader Michael Marra warning returning to the bloc is 'unrealistic'.
