- Gary Lineker joined more than 100 UK millionaires calling on Prime Minister Andy Burnham to increase taxes on their wealth.
- The signatories propose a 2% levy on assets exceeding £10 million, which experts estimate could raise £24 billion yearly.
- Burnham has not ruled out adopting a wealth tax to fund his government's policy agenda.
- The millionaires describe themselves as patriotic and emphasize that higher taxes could reduce inequality and support public services.
