> The UK Labour Party has opened its annual conference in Liverpool, the first held under Prime Minister Andy Burnham, with “Hope Again” as its central message. Burnham is promoting cost-of-living measures including a £2 cap on single bus fares and the removal of VAT from household electricity bills, while rising energy costs fuel inflation and intensify pressure on his government.
