And listen, you know, everyone hates you and you've got no fucking social media game at all.
I get more views than in question time here.
Give me serious work towards fixing the long term problems in the medium term.
And I will back you with every fucking political influence on YouTube and Instagram.
And another interesting thing happened last week, which I think makes it seem, you know, whether it's just PR bullshit or not, I don't know.
makes it seem like maybe this is another amazing thing that happened last week amazing things keep happening makes it seem like maybe they understand so tony blair for those who don't know uk prime minister from 1997 to 2007 i think came out and basically said the way to fix the economy is to like uh drink a massive glass of ai and deregulate everything um
which is great intervention from Tony Blair.
Thanks for that.
And there are responses from Keir Starmer, the prime minister, and from Andy Burnham and from West Streeting, who are the most the two best known candidates for prime minister.
And all of these guys came out and said, why the hell are you not talking about inequality?
I want to read a couple of quotes from
what West Streeting said now I want to make it clear in all this I've never met West Streeting I've never met Andy Burnham I've never met Keir Starmer so you know I don't know any of these guys but people say that West Streeting is on the right of Labour and is not is not the kind of guy who wants world taxes but listen to what West Streeting the most unexpected guy has been saying about about the economy in the last week West Streeting says
inequality, rather than being incidental to the crises reshaping Western democracies is actually their cause.
It is vital to tip the balance of taxation away from work towards wealth.
And look, you know, West Street is MP for Ilford, just like if you want to meet up West Street with your team, I'm here, you know, Ilford boy born and bred, like,
this is amazing, right?
Like people on the right of the Labour Party, you know, are suddenly basically saying, in tax wealth, not work.
And, and the Burnham came out and his response was, you know, why have you not mentioned inequality, even Keir Starmer said, Why are you not talking about inequality.
And it just feels like all of a sudden, you know, there's this big
Westring even publicly proposed a wealth tax.
