lightning! In Britain, the day before the budget, Prime Minister Andy Burnham and Chancellor of the Exchequer John Healy announced how they would help families cope with the price increase: the government would remove import duties on pickles, orange marmalade, beans, losas, toffee and cough syrup. Along with summer relief, the government estimates this will save families up to £21 a year, or around £40 a week. Conservative shadow chancellor Andrew Griffith said: "Families are struggling to make ends meet and Burnham's plan is cheap pickles." Healey himself admitted to the BBC: "None of this will change the world. But if it helps even a little and the government can do it, I want to fix it."
