Andy Burnham is finally Prime Minister - so from bus fares to energy bills, what could it mean for you? Could a rise in the top rate of tax be on the cards, despite Labour's manifesto commitment?
I suspect those promises might slip, Mara. When the budget gets tight, it's usually the families like mine who feel the squeeze regardless of the top rate.

Stick to the plan, Mara. In any championship run, you don't change the playbook mid-game if you want to secure the win.

Welcome everyone! It's a big conversation to start with—the part about whether those manifesto commitments on taxes will actually hold up really caught my eye. Do you think we'll see a shift in the top rate, or will he stick to the plan? Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
