But I hope, and I've signed the letter in support of it, there's going to be a wealth tax included in that. And we've got a surprising number of of people of most parties now supporting the principle of a wealth tax on those with disposable wealth of over £10 million.

So it's not going to affect you or me, or I suspect anybody watching this particular programme, but would bring in quite a lot of money that could be spent on the things that we actually need to spend on health, education, housing and environment.

Well, I was accused of having an over-detailed plan because we had two very long manifestos. And when we were writing them, I remember saying to my team, I was becoming slightly concerned that they were very long. And I said, look, Let's be careful. If we put out something that's overlong, it'll simply not be understood or would be ignored.

But they said, no, no, we've got to go into the campaign and go into an election saying exactly what we will do. So we did produce these very substantial, very detailed manifestos. And you know what? It's the largest number of accesses online of any manifesto ever was made in the 2017 election.

And so to suddenly announce that there was £22 billion nobody knew about, well, I find that slightly odd. Because, yes, I'm sure that the outgoing Conservative government wanted to hide things. And they did appear to make, in the six months before the election, a number of unfunded spending announcements.

But the idea that it was so large that now affects everything the government does, I think, is an odd way of doing things. It's allowing all your politics to be decided by the outgoing government. Surely we need a bit of vision.

Well, I was proud of the work that was put into it and the detail that was put into it and the sense of vision that was there. It did mean that if there were undecided voters, if you had the resources to do it, you could explain to them exactly what you were proposing to do, which is what we attempted to do. But remember, in that campaign,

We started the campaign from a very low point and Theresa May called the election because she thought it would be a walkover for her. We started on 24% and finished on 41%, all built up during the campaign with that manifesto. So I'm proud of what we did.

I've never been called a left-wing grandee before. I'm not sure about this. I'm not sure about your choice of language.

It doesn't sound terribly democratic. It sounds like a sort of aristocratic entitlement.
