Burnham urged to press Trump over Iran war as UK living costs rise
UK political and labour voices have urged Prime Minister Andy Burnham to press US President Donald Trump to help end the Iran war, arguing that the conflict is worsening Britain’s cost-of-living pressures. Higher energy prices and wider market uncertainty linked to the fighting have fed concerns about inflation and household bills. The appeal calls on the government to use its relationship with Washington to push for de-escalation. The demand comes as British households face renewed pressure from energy, borrowing and other essential costs.
