The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett
EMERGENCY DEBATE: They Lied About The Economy Recovering! Is A Financial Apocalypse Coming?

So if Daniel's worth £100 million, he's making £5 million. We're only trying to tax you 1%. I think if you are worth £100 million, you're making £5 million passive income, you can afford to pay a million pound tax a year.

So closing arguments then, chaps. I'll start with you, Gary. Based on everything we've discussed today, what is... I'm going to ask you to give me two perspectives, which is if I'm a young individual in this country right now, what should I do to protect myself and my family and to feed my family?

But also then from a government level, I know we have some politicians that listen because they message me. What should politicians be doing to fix the issue that we're all clearly identifying, which is the collapse of the middle class, the collapse of sort of working class people and the increased wealth of the rich?

I think... What I would like young people to understand is that this gets worse. This gets much, much worse. It will get much worse relatively quickly. Poverty will increase relatively quickly. It will become increasingly difficult, almost impossible to make any serious money. Prepare yourself for that.

So you have to go and study AI and computing and maybe social media, although we have to be honest, social media doesn't pay for most people. You have to realise the reality of your situation. It's very, very, very, very bad. But that doesn't mean you don't work. That doesn't mean you don't aspire. You work damn hard because you have to.

Our young people can have that as well, but they won't get it unless they fight for it. So I would encourage people to educate themselves, support my work, get involved politically, but also work hard, support your friends and family. Try and make money because you'll have to. If you don't play politics, I guarantee you the other side will play politics.
