Rachel Reeves cuts cost of theme parks this summer in 'Trumpflation' package

Rachel Reeves pledged to cut the cost of theme parks and soft play centres this summer as she unveiled a 'Trumpflation' package.The Chancellor said VAT on family attractions and kids' meals will be cut from 20 per cent to 5 per cent from June until September.That would be roughly £5 off a ticket for Legoland, or just over a pound off a child's meal at a high street chain like Pizza Express.In a Commons statement, she also announced that duty was being trimmed on products such as chocolate and biscuits.But Ms Reeves did not mention plans for price caps on shopping essentials after a furious backlash.And she said there would be no move to help Brits with energy bills at this stage - making clear if there is a bailout it will only be for those on benefits.
