And most importantly, they're the only thing really which can stop living standards from falling in the long term.

So when I look at the situation that the new prime minister is going to inherit when they come in, it'll probably be this year, it could be next year, I genuinely can't see anything else that they can do that is not going to get them absolutely smashed

And one thing I wanted to do in this video is like,

talk a little bit about how do you get politicians to give you wealth taxes.

And I think, I'm not a professional lobbyist, but in the last sort of few months, I've been lobbying my tits off.

And I think you really wanna get politicians into a situation where they can't you without themselves.

And I think this is basically where we are now with the UK government.

A new leader is gonna come in,

And just to put it quite simply, if it's not wealth taxes, what is it?

I don't see any real good alternative plan for them.

And what is really reassuring about this is that, and I think this is really interesting, and it's been really interesting for me.

is for the first time ever, it seems like they know it.

So people who've been watching this channel for a long time will know I've been lobbying the Labour Party to do wealth taxes for a good three years or so, since before they were in power.

And that has mostly felt like banging my head against a brick wall.

And a lot of people in Labour have been pretty unpleasant in the way that they've spoken about me.

But suddenly, all of a sudden, in the last sort of month or so,

All of these people who refuse to answer my emails are suddenly getting in touch, which is fantastic.

And they're sending me emails and they're calling me up and saying, Hey, Gary, how do these wealth taxes work?

And, you know, obviously, I can't promise that that means they're going to do it, but their tone has shifted enormously.

You know, think tanks, which which are also a lot.
