Prime Minister Andy Burnham will announce a plan for 10,000 work experience placements for young people, starting with Sainsbury's offering placements in deprived areas from October. The initiative aims to tackle youth unemployment and provide opportunities regardless of background. Separately, Ofgem announced a 4% increase in the energy price cap from October, meaning higher costs for households.
