And they always say to me, oh, wealth tax is going to take two years.

We don't have two years.

We need to worry about this upcoming budget.

Basically, like the sort of political institution, the political economic academic classes,

basically they don't believe that the british public has the patience to accept long-term fixes and i need to be able to turn around to them and say listen the british public are not idiots they will be willing to back somebody who is serious about fixing the long-term problems so in a sense what i'm trying to do here is bridge

between the Labour politicians and say, listen, if you fix the long term problems, I will get you the support of the public.

But I also need to speak to you the public and say, listen, if these guys are serious about fixing the long term problems, you do need to back them in the context of continued short term falls in living standards.

Listen, and I wish I could give you a different message.

But the fact is,

That is where we are.

We cannot fix living standards without fixing the long-term problems and we cannot fix the long-term problems immediately.

So listen, you know, I'm out there lobbying these guys on behalf of you and I need you guys to back it basically.

I need you guys to tell them in every way you can, express your opinion, express your commitment to your friends, to your family, wherever you can.

Call f***ing LBC, talk on the radio show, email your MP and say, listen,

We're not expecting miracles, but we are expecting seriousness on the long-term problems.

If you show that seriousness, if you talk to Gabriel Zucman, if you talk to Gary's Economics, we will have the patience to wait and see.

And I will then be able to go there, kick the tires, and continually see, are they being serious on it?

Either they will give us wealth taxes or they will get f**king smashed at the next election.

I will tell you that right here, right now.

And if they give us it, I'll work my tits off to make sure they don't get smashed.
