Burnham could change tax relief on pension contributions for his projects. Gross tax relief in 2024-2025 was £83.9bn. 71% went to 7.7m additional & higher rate taxpayers. 29% to 30.4m basic rate taxpayers. Giving relief to all at 20% leaves £14.5bn spare for social care. But equality/equity?

Financial Times moans about modest trade union reforms, workers rights. Most of the EU has worker-elected directors on boards of large companies. FT silence on low wages, fire and rehire, worker insecurity, undeserved exec pay. Only unions can negotiate with powerful companies. archive.ph/lbOyk

Sustained economic growth can’t be achieved without a major boost to the purchasing power of the bottom 50% of the UK population. The govt can do so immediately by increasing income tax-free personal allowance by £3,000. All it needs to do is to end subsidies to commercial banks.

In 2021, income tax personal allowance was frozen at £12,570. If aligned with inflation, it would now be £16,070. A minimum wage earner in England will pay extra £980 in income tax & NIC in 2026-27. Govt can easily increase personal allowance by £3,000, worth £600 to basic rate taxpayer.

A third runway for Heathrow in the face of a climate emergency? The Government's own climate advisors say no! Ministers must withdraw support for this reckless plan that only benefits wealthy airport bosses, and support the buses and trains we use every day instead.
Image is of Green MPs Carla Denyer and Sian Berry, with Green Peer Jenny Jones and a campaigner from No 3rd Runway Coalition. They are stood in front of a digital van which reads: FINAL CALL: Andy Burnham. PROTECT OUR ECONOMY. Say NO to Heathrow's Third Runway.
