Fuel price rise under Burnham linked to international events

The Daily Express has issued a correction to a previous article that suggested petrol drivers would face 20p per mile charges under Andy Burnham.

The original article, published on 23 July 2026, has been amended to clarify that the rise in fuel prices is due to international events occurring as Mr Andy Burnham commences his term as Prime Minister.

Clarification

The newspaper stated: "To be clear, as reported, the rise in fuel prices is due to international events occurring as Mr Andy Burnham commences his term as Prime Minister."
