Gary Stevenson

Yes.

It's the biggest politics show in politics podcast in this country.

I've been telling them aggressively that if they're serious on the economy, they should have you on and they definitely should.

But they mentioned me in their show last night and they said people like Gary Stevenson just want to take money from the rich and give it to the poor.

What do you think about that argument?

You've been doing a lot of work collecting this data, so you are convinced inequality is increasing.

So you're convinced inequality is increasing aggressively?

So the real problem is that top, the very, very top end.

So you think democracy is in threat.

You think if we don't tax the very, very rich, this small group of society will amass more and more and more wealth and power, and it will take wealth and power away from more than any people.

I'm going to have to push you for some quick answers on the UK political situation, because I know we're short of time.

Here in the UK, there is a very real possibility that we will get a new prime minister, maybe as soon as in the next couple of months, but if not, quite possibly in the next year and a half.

A new prime minister is going to come in.

The current government is very unpopular.

The new prime minister will have to have

and an answer on what they're going to do with the economy.

We have been pushing very hard for a number of years now that we think the UK government should be more serious about the taxation of the super rich.

If the new prime minister was willing to do something more serious on the top end, is it practically possible?

And would you be willing to support the new prime minister in designing and implementing those taxes such that they work for the UK economy?

And it's not essential.
