You know, especially those of you who've been watching for a long time and have been sharing these ideas and have been pushing them around and getting your friends and sending them to your mum, like I always used to say.

We've done this.

You know, we have done this here and across the world.

We've got a political party into a situation where it feels like it has to support wealth taxes.

And that is amazing.

You know, that is amazing.

Yeah, I read the book recently, just to go off on a random ending.

I got a book recommended to me by a guy called Chris Morris, who's a comedian, British comedian, who I fucking loved when I was younger.

I met him and he recommended this book to me called Bury the Chains, which is a book about the British fight against slavery back in, I think, the 1700s, might even be the 1600s.

And he spoke about how a very small amount of people, they got their heads down and they built this massive campaign that rather than lobby the politicians, spoke to the public and got the public up in arms about this one thing, which the rich kept telling them was good for them and good for their economy, which is slavery, which obviously now everybody knows was horrific.

And he sent me that book because he said, look, this might be helpful for your work.

And it was really inspiring to see how people in this country, and of course the battle against slavery was not just in this country, were willing to get their heads down and work hard for people thousands of miles away who they've maybe never seen anybody who even looked like those people.

Not to compare this battle to the fight against transatlantic slavery, but people can win.

We can win.

And I think if you,

If we keep doing what we've been doing, which is speak to one another, educate one another on this simple message, you cannot fix living standards without fixing inequality, we will continually again and again put these politicians into situations where they have no choice to give us what they want.

And to finish this video, as not a political lobbyist, but somebody who I think has done quite a good job so far.

If you want to get what you want from your politicians, put them in a situation where they can't f*** you without f***ing themselves.

And that way we'll get it.

Tax wealth not work.
