UK's cost of living crisis deepens as new PM unveils 10-year plan

Britain's new Prime Minister Andy Burnham has pledged to tackle the cost of living crisis with a 10-year plan, as millions struggle to afford essentials. Research shows 7.4 million low-income families couldn't afford at least one essential item in the past six months, a record high. The crisis stems from austerity, weak wage growth, and Brexit, with Universal Credit no longer providing an adequate safety net.
