Prime Minister Burnham denies his government is a 'tax and spend socialist' regime
Prime Minister Andy Burnham affirmed his commitment to making "difficult decisions" regarding the economy.

Andy Haldane, an economic advisor to Burnham, asserted that financial markets currently perceive his administration as employing a "conventional approach of increased taxation and public expenditure," a characterization Burnham disputed on Wednesday.
