"Haigh will stress that the spending review must serve as a moment for economic reset, emphasizing a wealth tax to address inequality and public investment."
"Burnham will call for setting a target for new social homes to exceed the number sold, underscoring Labour's commitment to the working class and housing issues."
Next month's spending review is poised for an economic reset, with former cabinet minister Louise Haigh advocating a bold wealth tax and increased public investment. Amid mounting pressure from Labour's ranks, Haigh, alongside Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham, aims to reposition the party as a champion of working-class aspirations. Burnham will urge for new housing policies while Haigh's focus on tax reform aims to address systemic inequalities, suggesting a shift from taxing income to addressing wealth. Their comments highlight a pivotal moment for Labour's strategy and commitment to community investment.
