Andy Burnham has been slowly announcing his Cabinet members, and Caller Stuart isn't best pleased.
He calls out the politicians being appointed for not having experience in their fields. He says having John Healey as Chancellor is like 'asking a carpenter to perform surgery'.
Burnham made his appointments on Monday, putting Wes Streeting in charge of defence and Ed Miliband became the Foreign Secretary.
Burnham announced the £850 million tax cut on Tuesday in his first significant policy as Prime Minister.
Speaking to Nick Ferrari at Breakfast, Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds said removing VAT from household electricity bills provides “breathing space” amid the cost of living crisis.
“That’s going to be a saving that will take on average £45 off the annual price cap for people’s energy bills and it’s a statement of priorities and it’s funded by not proceeding with digital ID so we don’t have to have any additional taxes or borrowing to do that."
