Same goes, by the way, to Streeting or Ed Miliband or Angela Rayner.

If any of you want to come in here, talk about your economic plans for the country, we're happy to have you on.

And that brings us on to the final question, which is a question I've never asked on the channel before.

And it's like...

I'll be clear.

I don't I don't think we will get wealth taxes now because I think the the very, very wealthy people will push will use every single thing in their power to avoid us getting it.

But the fact is, and I'm not just saying this is 100% true.

We could get it.

We could get wealth taxes here in this country within the next few years.

And that means we have to ask the next question, which is what happens if we get them?

Alright, so there's been like a popular attack against me and against Zach Polanski, the other sort of big proponent of wealth taxes here in the UK, which I've been calling the magic wand theory.

I'm going to put into Google wealth taxes magic world tax magic wand.

And here you get, there's no magic wand to fix all the country's problems, Starmer.

There's no such thing as a magic wealth tax, Minister says, is that Rachel Reeves?

And there's been this like common attack against me and Zach on wealth taxes, which is if you bring in wealth taxes, like it's not gonna fix all the problems.

And I wanna be like totally clear, I have never said that wealth taxes are a magic wand.

My stance is and has always been,

If you do not stop inequality from increasing, you cannot stop living standards from falling.

That doesn't mean that if you do stop inequality from increasing, suddenly everything becomes perfect.

I am the guy who is saying in my little area of the boat, there is a hole in the bottom of the boat.
