Ownership matters. New research from Persuasion UK following Andy Burnham’s conference speech suggests arguments about economic power, public control and ownership resonate with voters. That conversation should include sharing ownership and putting more power in more hands.

More broadly, Burnham’s speech marks first serious effort to confront 🇬🇧 problems in years - not blaming it on foreigners, migrants, the EU etc, but decades of poor choices by our own cowardly politicians. His honesty was refreshing, and merits respect - but it’s a HUGE challenge to deliver.

Important - and on the nail - point by the Prime Minister here. (www.ft.com/content/ef10... Burnham clears path to EU summit with post-Brexit breakthrough - £).

He noted that the proposed deal on removing barriers to agrifood trade would mean that Britain would have to adopt EU rules, a step that he said raised legitimate questions about whether the UK should start to reverse Brexit.
He told the BBC: "But then we're a rule taker, and then people will say, 'Well, hang on a minute, should Britain be that?'
"So we're in this position now where we can't really avoid the question anymore as to what is our long-term relationship."

Richest 1% of Britons owns more wealth than the bottom 70% of the population combined. 50 richest families hold more wealth than the poorest half of the population combined. The concentration of wealth in fewer hands has not provided the necessary economic stimulus. Need redistribution.
