they fight their way through all this, not to mention huge taxes, which will probably increase dramatically tomorrow, in order to basically debit the productive and credit the indolent, the most extraordinary sort of formula, which is doomed to failure.
But so I think we need the people
who ultimately care about the country to rise up now i don't think the way in which our government is structured is ever going to serve them well so all they will do is go around crying into their beer about the fact that they voted for as you say rishi sunak or they voted for kia starmer and they're all the same there's there's no real difference i don't think you're overstating it i mean look at their priorities they're both
They don't seem interested at all.
Well, I think what's happened is Parliament, as I say, whereas it was
elected by the people and its interests were aligned with the people.
Now, Parliament and the MPs, an MP earns about ยฃ92,000 a year, something like that.
I actually give my salary to charity each month.
I give it to a great Yarmouth charity.
But I think a lot of the MPs need that money.
So they've become dependent on that.
They've obviously got status as an MP.
There's a lot of talk goes on in Parliament.
There's a lot of video calls and meetings in room P and all sorts of stuff goes on and people feel important.
But actually, are they delivering for the people?
I would argue they're not.
So I think we've got to have some form of massive change.
And I watch what's happening in the US, and I think we need some help from the US.
I think what's happening with Donald Trump and with J.D.
Vance and with Rubio, I mean, you've got some great people who are really trying to change the way things are going.
