Andy Burnham wanted to make things clear from the outset. In the first meeting of his government, this Tuesday at Downing Street, the new prime minister has asked his ministers to focus on seeking "all possible avenues" to help families suffering from the high cost of living. Six hours earlier, the government's information and propaganda machine had already set the course for the new executive and, above all, how it wants its first actions to be perceived, after announcing a total suspension of VAT for domestic electricity from October 1, which until now was 5%. Burnham accompanied the announcement with a message on social media saying: "I said I wanted to relieve the pressure families are suffering, and that's what I'm announcing on my second day as prime minister".
