Andy Burnham has reportedly rowed back on plans to raise the tax-free personal allowance. The new PM hinted that he could unfreeze the £12,570 personal allowance in an interview just before he entered 10 Downing Street, as he looks to ease the cost of living for Britons.
He said it was "lodged in my mind" as it was “the thing I heard the most on the doorsteps” when campaigning in the Makerfield by-election. But an ally of the Prime Minister told the Financial Times: “There is not any commitment to do it. What he was saying is that people are feeling unheard.”
