Prime Minister Andy Burnham has said he accepts his announcements aimed at tackling the cost of living are not enough on their own. Speaking to the BBC's Wake up to Money the PM said he will deliver an "accumulation of smaller things" that "combine to take the pressure down" on household budgets. He spoke of an overhaul of train fares and "more public control" of energy, water and housing but did not give details on how he would bring this about. Burnham said he asked Chancellor John Healey to look at what the government can do further on the cost of living in the upcoming Budget, on 28 October, and Healey said it will be his "main focus".
