There's not many human beings that wouldn't like more money. So I try and acknowledge that bias. But the big issue I have is... is how.

And from my personal experience, as someone that now employs hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people here in London, up in Manchester, in our offices, there are a set of things that would make me leave this country if it became increasingly less friendly to entrepreneurs. I reckon if we come back here in five years' time, I reckon I'll employ 500 more people in the UK.

And actually, as you look around this room, you can see the age of them. These are young people. There are things you could do to make me not do that.

I mean, it's probably worth pointing out that we're not taxing wealth and you're leaving the country anyway, Stephen.

No, I haven't left the country.

Okay, you're going to stay.

No, I'm a tax resident here. I pay my taxes here. And I have zero intent in changing that. I'm also on track, you know, so we're investing a lot of money in UK businesses.

But listen... I want to tax only high levels of wealth. Only high levels of wealth. And listen, don't get me wrong, I understand very rich people will complain and very rich people will say, just like they did in Dickens, I'm going to throw my businesses, I'm going to throw my taxes, my businesses and my factories into the sea.

Listen, Stephen, your viewers are here. You are a very wealthy person. They are paying 20, 30, 40, 50%. You should be paying your fair share, Stephen. You should.

I think that I should pay... more tax, especially when I don't think my kids should benefit from my wealth. And maybe this is a controversial opinion, but I actually don't. I don't think I should be able to pass down my assets to my children.

can't it's 40% tax I think it should be more let's not pretend rich people don't successfully pass their assets to their children I'm just telling you now I think I'd be robbing my children of something from the background that I came from if my child gets fucking if my child gets tens of millions let's say even when I die I don't think that should happen
