Andy Burnham is being urged to adopt radical economic policies like rent control and higher wealth taxes to help Labour retain its majority in the next election, according to a detailed opinion poll. The poll suggests such measures could counter Reform UK in key seats, though Labour risks losing its majority if these policies are not implemented.
