Incoming Prime Minister Andy Burnham has been urged to broaden his plans to reform the “broken and unsustainable” business rates system.

With Mr Burnham due to replace Keir Starmer on Monday, Sir Tony told the incoming PM that the Government is 'penalising' British businesses with its climate policies.

Andy Burnham has been warned that he risks breaking Labour’s manifesto if he does not go further in his plans to overhaul business rates.
