Andy Burnham signals a wealth tax is off the agenda for now

Asked about wealth taxes on Wednesday, Burnham told the footballer turned podcaster Gary Lineker: “I don’t want to come in and sort of, if you like, create new divisions and pitch people one against another.”

Just keep the old divisions of pitching people against each other

He added: “I do believe we need a greater sense of fairness and people feeling that things are being done in the right way and a fair way.

People want actual fairness but not just a sense of it

Well, then, between this, his declared plan to not only not sack, but to promote Mahmoud, and his non-apology apology over Gaza, it looks like the Greens are the least bad option.

"Will nobody think of the billionaires' feelings?"

"For now" as if hes going to get a second term.

Starmer II: The Burnham Boogaloo.

don't worry at least he has shabana mahmood completing her hitler arc as chancellor.

lol

It's all speculation he hasn't actively told any press anything definitive, as soon as he does it's going to be headline news.

Which is driving them nutty as there's nothing to report and the press is already salty over not getting a labour leadership campaign over the summer.

And this is exactly the kind of reason for the change. Wealth tax out, Palantir in, the people who fund the political parties are happy.

Fine. I won't vote for Labour then.

Can i just bash my head into a wall at this point?

To no one's surprise
