आंकड़ों में
The UK's new Prime Minister Andy Burnham held his first cabinet meeting on Tuesday, following his assumption of office on Monday. Both newly appointed ministers and figures remaining from the previous government came together at the meeting. It is reported that Burnham made controversial appointments during the cabinet formation process and faced a legitimacy gap.
The first concrete economic step of the new government was taken in the energy sector. The Prime Minister announced that the Value Added Tax (VAT) on natural gas and electricity would be reduced from the current 5 percent level to 0 percent starting in October. It was stated that the average savings per household would remain around 49 pounds.
Although the said VAT reduction provides the expected cost reduction for citizens, its economic impact is considered to be quite limited. How the Burnham government will conduct these economic policies under the shadow of the lack of legitimacy and the controversial appointments made is being closely monitored by the public.
