## Resource

Andy Burnham could be the next Labour leader—and he’s already got a bold housing plan. He’s proposing an emergency brake on rent hikes, a massive £40 billion investment in council homes, and even pausing the Right to Buy scheme in high-demand areas. With voters struggling under the cost of living, Burnham’s focus on rebuilding social housing and cracking down on poor private rentals could be a game-changer—if he gets the top job.
