In an opinion article, Unison general secretary Andrea Egan welcomes Andy Burnham’s stated ambition to move beyond neoliberalism but argues that the government must match its rhetoric with major public investment, public ownership and tax changes.

  • Egan says Burnham’s rejection of neoliberalism marks a significant shift in Labour’s political framing.
  • She calls for a multiyear plan to increase public-service investment and wages, and to bring some services back in-house.
  • Egan urges tax changes, including equalising income and capital gains tax, and says trade unions will support the project if it advances working-class interests.
