Developing

Prime Minister Andy Burnham has thanked party leaders for their support following the death of his father, Roy, on Monday. Burnham had previously spoken about his father's condition, noting that Roy did not know he had become prime minister due to his advanced Alzheimer's.
In July, Burnham had spoken about his father's condition and its influence on his drive to reform adult social care in England. He now faces the challenge of addressing the social care system, a topic that may require tax rises, as petrol and diesel price rises continue to push UK inflation higher.
