Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham is scheduled to speak at a conference organised by the left-leaning think-tank Compass, according to reporting. The event is described as bringing together Burnham and an influencer associated with the “rinse-the-rich” slogan. The reports say Burnham has recently reiterated his view that the asset-rich middle classes should pay more in taxes. Compass, which is characterised in the coverage as a left-leaning political think-tank, is hosting the conference, where Burnham is set to appear as a speaker. The articles presented do not provide additional details about the conference agenda, format, or the specific session in which Burnham will participate. They also do not specify which influencer is involved, beyond the “rinse-the-rich” reference. Overall, the available information centres on Burnham’s planned appearance at a Compass event and the recent statement attributed to him about increasing tax contributions from asset-rich parts of the middle class.
