Labour's first major policy announcement has come under immediate pressure after senior Keir Starmer ally Darren Jones challenged Andy Burnham's proposal to scrap VAT on household energy bills. Jones has demanded that Burnham's government explain exactly how it intends to fund the tax cut, raising fresh questions about whether Labour's flagship pledge is financially sustainable. The public disagreement has fuelled speculation about divisions within Labour and whether the party can deliver on its promises while maintaining fiscal credibility.

In this report, GB News reporter Will Godley breaks down the growing political row, examines why Darren Jones' intervention is significant, and explores the potential consequences for Andy Burnham's new administration. With energy bills continuing to be a major concern for households across the UK, the debate over affordability, taxation, and government spending is likely to remain at the centre of the political agenda in the weeks ahead.

Shadow Defence Secretary James Cartlidge MP also reacts to the dramatic exchange, arguing that Burnham's first major policy has "unravelled in minutes" after facing criticism from within Labour's own ranks.
