Andy Burnham should be given Guinness World Record for U-turns, SNP says
Dave Doogan says Burnham has broken promises on Brexit, taxes and tuition fees as MPs return to Parliament for the first time since he became prime minister.
- As the House of Commons returns from summer recess, Prime Minister Andy Burnham faces his first scrutiny session from MPs, with the SNP launching a sharp attack over policy U-turns.
- SNP MP Dave Doogan claimed Burnham "should be given a Guinness World Record" for the frequency of his U-turns, citing reversals on Brexit, Tory spending rules, taxes, and tuition fees.
- Regarding the cost of living, Doogan noted that energy bills have risen despite Labour's 2024 pledges, with "growing warnings that household bills will soar again this winter."
- The SNP remains ready to work on cost-of-living issues, though Doogan urged the Prime Minister to "start respecting Scottish democracy, including the democratic right of the people of Scotland to choose their own future in an independence referendum."
- A government source defended the record, stating the Prime Minister has taken "immediate action to provide the breathing space people need," including removing VAT from household electricity bills.
