Burnham Targets Subscription Traps | UK News

Prime Minister Andy Burnham is launching a bold crackdown on subscription traps and fake discounts, calling them “rip-offs” that families are fed up with as the cost of living soars. His plan includes banning deceptive pricing tactics to give regulators teeth in cracking down on misleading deals — potentially saving households £14 a month. Backed by Citizens Advice, the move kicks off with an August tour across the country to hear from locals, though critics call it a “vanity tour” and demand deeper fixes like tax cuts. With inflation still driven by global pressures, the government vows to explore every avenue to ease financial strain — even if it means starting small.
