Compass report urges Burnham to back wealth tax, free social care, public ownership

A Compass thinktank report, featuring 70 policy options from 15 leftwing thinkers, urges Andy Burnham to adopt radical measures including a wealth tax, universal free personal social care, and public ownership of energy networks. The report is positioned ahead of Chancellor John Healey's first budget, aiming to influence Labour policy. It signals a push within the party for more transformative fiscal measures, though adoption remains uncertain.
