I don't support any party.
I've supported the Greens a number of times in the past in terms of vote recommendations.
This is a chance for us to get a new prime minister.
I can't promise you he'll give us anything on wealth taxes.
Maybe he comes in and f***s us over.
But it's a chance.
It's a chance.
We've never been in a situation in my whole lifetime, and I've been doing this work now for 12 years, where we could realistically get wealth taxes within the next couple of years.
And the risk, of course, is that
He comes in and ends up being just like Keir Starmer, which is he hopes to do some sort of magic technocratic economics language diggery pokery and somehow fix the economy without dealing with this fundamental problem of inequality.
What do we do about that?
And I think the answer to that, and I think if you take one key message away from this video in terms of how to get world tax in your country, I don't think Labour can f*** us over on this without f***ing themselves.
I just cannot see an economical comms strategy that works here for them.
I think the only, the best chance they have
of winning an election without giving us something, at least something on wealth taxes, is to basically come in and hope that there's a kind of burn and bounce and hold an immediate election and hope that that works.
But if you do that and you don't give us wealth taxes, all that changes is instead of getting smashed in three years, you get smashed in five years, you know, and it will just be like Keir Starmer
2.0 um and listen you know obviously i've been i've been working with labour for a long time and i've been watching kistama for a long time and i think it's like really really obvious that they're that some of these guys are quite comfortable shooting themselves in the head instead of talking to me i've been like rooting around i've been talking to people even people who are not really like team burnham and saying like do you think we can trust him i haven't met andy burnham himself listen if andy burnham wants to come on the channel 100 welcome here um
What I've heard back from the people I've been fishing around is that he's all right, you know, and that maybe we can trust him.
And listen, I don't trust anyone in politics.
Listen, a chance of wealth taxes is better than no chance of wealth taxes.
