Good Morning Britain viewers have accused Andy Burnham of avoiding the real problem following his latest announcement. The prime minister has said he is banning airlines from charging parents extra to sit with their children on flights.
Burnham described the additional charges as a "rip off" and said he wants to scrap it to help people as cost of living pressures worsen, Ranvir Singh explained.
Reaction to the announcement
Sharing further details was reporter Mahatir Pasha, who said families will see the announcement as "welcome news broadly" as they continue to feel frustrated with costs adding up when booking a holiday.
While it is a positive announcement, it led viewers to speculate that airlines will only hike their prices up elsewhere.
"Attack the big problem of everyone trebling the cost of a holiday during school holidays," one fumed as another commented: "Burnham's an idiot, sounds good, but the airlines will just increase prices elsewhere."
