- 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.

To live up to our national values our new government must raise taxes on extreme levels of wealth for a fairer, better, more hopeful Britain.— Gary Lineker, commenting on taxation and wealth inequality
