56-year-old Andy Burnham has been the new Prime Minister of Great Britain since July 17th. He follows in the footsteps of Keir Starmer, who announced his resignation in mid-June. Burnham is the seventh British prime minister in the past ten years.
Burnham wants to be closer to the people with his politics. He aims to provide financial relief to people with lower incomes and small businesses. His policies should be based entirely on the British people in order to make their lives easier. The first decision is due to come into force on October 1st: VAT on electricity bills from private households is to be canceled. (nib)
