Burnham just banned the fake discounts and subscription traps that have been draining household budgets. Here’s exactly what the new rules mean for shoppers and why this is one of the first real cost-of-living wins of his premiership.
In this video I break down Prime Minister Andy Burnham’s announcement cracking down on misleading retail pricing — the inflated “was” prices, invented discounts and pretend recommended retail prices that make savings look bigger than they are. I also cover the new subscription rules coming in January 2027: clearer information up front, regular reminders, easier cancellation, and a 14-day cooling-off period after renewals. These changes are expected to save consumers hundreds of millions a year and form part of Burnham’s “everyday fixes” agenda.
But does he have the ability to enforce them?
