Raise taxes, fix welfare later: Labour's tough sell
<p><strong>What a difference a year makes</strong></p><p>The Labour Party conference awaits. Has Andy Burnham's folksy charm and optimism taken the party as far as it can, or can he consolidate power and popularity?</p><p><strong>Six-party politics </strong></p><p>A YouGov poll for The Times and Sky News puts Reform UK and the Conservative Party on level pegging for the first time in 18 months. Thursday's mega poll, the first MRP from YouGov in a year, will be a fascinating snapshot of the shifting electoral tectonic plates. Labour MPs are pinning their hopes on a split on the right, but will Burnham's government be able to build enough support from potential Green and Liberal Democrat voters?</p><p><strong>What will Andy Burnham's government do about welfare? </strong></p><p>Three reports into work and benefits are imminent: Charlie Mayfield's recommendations about how to keep people in work, Alan Milburn's report into Neets (young people not in education, employment or training) and a government review of mental health conditions. All of them put the welfare system into the spotlight. The timing creates a political problem for the government because next month's budget will not address the welfare bill. Raising taxes without fixing welfare is difficult for a prime minister who has talked about the power of politics to change things. Meanwhile his chancellor, John Healey, is buffeted by rising borrowing costs, which hit £18.3 billion in August, up nearly a fifth on August last year.</p><p><strong>Brexit re-litigated?</strong></p><p>On the plane to New York, Andy Burnham refused to rule out rejoining the European Union. A year ago he said he hoped the UK would rejoin the EU in his lifetime. Could he really be tempted to try to boost economic growth by aligning more closely with the EU or putting rejoining the EU in the next manifesto?</p><br><p>Steven Swinford, political editor, The Times</p><p>Patrick Maguire, chief political commentator, The Times</p><br><p>Producer: Harry Kitson</p><p>Executive producer: Molly Guinness</p><br><p>Picture: Getty Images</p><p>This podcast was brought to you thanks to subscribers of The Times and The Sunday Times.
