Can Starmer’s Price Controls Revive Britain?

Keir Starmer's push to cap concert ticket prices signals a broader mission: tackling Britain's cost-of-living crisis, from housing affordability to everyday expenses, aiming for real change.

In his recent PMQs session, British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer took the stage with an initiative that is not just a hit among music fans but could herald the start of a much-needed era of reform in the UK. “It’s great that OSS are back together,” Starmer quipped, referencing the return of a beloved band that has the nation buzzing. But his enthusiasm quickly turned to a pressing issue: the extortionate ticket prices fans face.

“I’m committed to putting fans at the heart of music and ending extortionate price resales. We're starting a consultation to work out how best we can do this.”
