Burnham urged to tackle inequality with policies including wealth tax

Key thinkers have suggested that the UK government should address inequality by implementing several radical policies, including a wealth tax. This tax would target wealthy individuals, aiming to redistribute wealth and reduce economic disparities. The proposed measures also include universal free personal social care and bringing gas and electricity networks under public ownership, which could have significant implications for the economy and markets.
