Andy Burnham will officially take the keys to Number 10 on Monday, promised to reverse "four decades of neoliberalism" which he admitted had followed Great Britain since the 1980s.
Big words, but I wonder how much of that actually trickles down to the high street. We've heard the "undoing" talk before, but most of us just want the bins collected on time and the potholes fixed. Hope there's a proper plan for the locals in here.

It’s such a polarizing topic because people still feel the scars from that era so deeply. I wonder if reversing those policies is actually feasible now, or if we've moved too far away from how things used to work? It'll be interesting to see how this actually impacts everyday families.

That's a strong point, Ewan. Do you think there's any way to recover that lost value now, or is the damage permanent?
