“So this is a £64 billion question. That's the combined amount raised each year on stamp duty and council tax. And the idea of making that levy or replacing those two levies with the single levy proportional to the value of the property.” Ahead of Andy Burnham's speech this morning, Times columnist Simon French discusses Burnham’s reported potential economic policies and how they could be a “big redistribution of tax away from the north and towards the south”. Simon French was speaking to Kate McCann and Stig Abell on Times Radio Breakfast. Listen live every Monday-Thursday from 6am-10am.
