Please come down and patch up the hole.

Which is how I've been able to successfully predict that Sunak would fail and Starma would fail and how I will successfully predict right now that Burnham will fail if he does not do wealth taxes.

Like if you can see the hole in the bottom of the boat, you know that the boat is going to go down unless it's fixed.

But the truth is bringing the wealth tax in, it's not going to suddenly make things perfect.

It's simply the truth, you know, all it can do in the first instance is stop the collapse.

And the truth also is, you know, we cannot expect and I am not demanding that the Labour Party do wealth taxes now, you know, you know, obviously, I've done the work to go and build a relationship with Gabriel Zucman.

And I asked Gabriel Zucman, I don't think I did it on the channel, but I think I did it off off camera.

I said to him, listen, if I get Labour in,

Do you think you have something oven ready to do now?

And Zucman said, yes, but we can't expect the Labour government to just hand the keys of the country over to Gabriel Zucman.

Obviously, the Labour Party and the government has to do a thorough analysis of those policies to make sure that they're well designed.

And I wouldn't want them to do anything else.

I want to be there kicking the tires on this, making sure that it works.

So we can't expect them to give us a wealth tax really like in anything less than two years.

And what that means is to some degrees, what we have is a difficult sell because what we are saying to Andy Burnham and to the Labour Party is, listen, we will work with you to build the institutional structure to tax the richest people in the country.

If you don't do that, they will own everything and things will collapse.

But we can't promise you that it's going to immediately fix all of your problems.

And I'm going to say to them, if you do it, I believe, I trust that the British public will be willing to back

fixing long-term problems, that the British public does have patience, that they will be willing to work with you.

And the truth is, you know, I've been doing this for a long time, and every single budget, I go around the houses, talk to the think tanks, and say, are you guys going to do anything on wealth taxes?
