Burnham Set to Bring in £35bn Land Tax
23rd May 2026
Andy Burnham is set to bring in a land value tax if he becomes Britain’s next prime minister.
The Mayor of Greater Manchester, who is expected to launch a leadership challenge against Sir Keir Starmer if he returns to Westminster, told The Telegraph he believed land was “under-taxed” and he wanted to introduce a new levy.
While he has vowed to respect Labour’s 2024 manifesto, Mr Burnham has not ruled out campaigning for a land tax at the next general election.
Time to leave.
