The real test is the ten-year plan promised for later this year, and whether it is genuinely bold structural reform, and grounded in a long-term vision for the sort of Britain we collectively wish to build. If this government is to be different, its plan must treat tax, devolution, bills and welfare as one reform, not four departmental workstreams. That is what a progressive tax cut for working people could look like. The objection to major structural reform has always been affordability and already we have seen a wave of cries of how will Burnham pay for this. Burnham is right that households need breathing space in the immediate term.
