>The Manchester mayor said “the only thing I’ve launched is a debate”, and then went on to declare that he believed Britain should go back into the EU in his lifetime. He also set out his priorities for a Budget, saying “I would look very seriously at land value taxation” and “I would look at council tax revaluation” as ways to raise revenue. Asked about Britain’s role in Europe he said: “Long term, I’m going to say it, I want to rejoin. I hope in my lifetime I see this country rejoin the European Union.”
Land Value Tax and wanting to rejoin the EU. I’m very skeptical about Andy Burnham and some of his spending plans, if he was to become PM, but these are very good things.
