Millionaires including former footballer Gary Lineker and music producer Brian Eno have written to new prime minister Andy Burnham asking to be taxed more. Organised by Patriotic Millionaires, the letter said it would lead to a more equal society, and urged a "devolution of wealth and power from the very richest". Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch said Lineker is "very welcome to pay more tax he can write a cheque to the Treasury, no one is stopping him." Patriotic Millionaires support a 2% tax on wealth over £10m. Burnham did not rule out a wealth tax when asked about it by Lineker - formerly the BBC's highest paid presenter - a few days before he became prime minister.
