An open letter signed by 120 millionaires asked the new Prime Minister today to increase their taxes, joining the public in their demands to ensure “extreme wealth is taxed fairly to reduce inequality both at home and abroad...

Keir Starmer promised public ownership then failed to deliver, so why does it matter what Burnham says? Burnham is being lobbied hard behind the scenes *not* to commit to public ownership.

&quot;The Media Sovereignty Act Does Five Things: Bans foreign media ownership. Bans the concentration of UK national media ownership by one person or corporation. Funds independent and local media with a social media levy. Requires national media to be under the remit of the statutory regulator.
