Andy Burnham to ban fake discounts that mislead shoppers 🛍️⚠️ Prime Minister Andy Burnham has announced plans to ban businesses from using fake discounts, saying shoppers should be able to trust that sale prices are genuine. Announcing the proposals, Burnham said: “If something is advertised as half price, it should actually be half price.” The plans are expected to crack down on retailers that inflate prices before sales or advertise misleading discounts, with the aim of making promotions clearer and fairer for consumers. The move forms part of the government's wider consumer protection agenda, designed to improve transparency and help households get better value as the cost of living remains high. #ThisIsMoney #Money #News #UK
