Description

Elections in the UK this week may change everything. With prediction markets saying Labour are facing wipeout, is Sir Keir Starmer about to resign? Who will take over? And what does that mean for the next general election? Gary sets out his predictions for the next week, year and 10 years in British politics. A couple things I forgot to mention in this video about voting: 1 - Not everywhere in England has elections this week - but they are taking place in all of Scotland, all of Wales, and most of the main urban areas in England - London, the northwest, the west midlands, and the Newcastle region. 2 - You don't need to be a UK citizen to vote, most Commonwealth and EU nationals can vote if they live in the UK. 3 - You are of course free to care about about and vote primarily on other issues - this recommendation is focused solely on our economy/living standards/inequality/wealth taxes campaign. 4 - You may want to consider voting for other parties for tactical reasons, for example preventing Reform from winning in your area, or supporting a good local candidate (the Labour council in Wandsworth, for example, have been doing good work) Thanks!

You know Labour are cooked when they are refusing to pickup a slogan as good as Tax Wealth Not Work...

It is NOT possible for the labour party to embrace wealth taxes because the party has been captured by billionaires and the left within the party have been crushed or expelled.

I’ve emailed my Labour MP to let them know why I won’t be voting for them in the upcoming election. So they understand how important wealth inequality is to ordinary people. I would encourage everyone to do the same so your vote lands with even more impact and parties have no excuse to hide from this issue.

Gary, I know that you probably won't see this, but please keep up with your work, it's really important to me and thousands of other people. (But don't forget to take breaks!)

Labour has literally betrayed their constituents by delivering the opposite what they promised during campaign.

I don't live in the UK, so I won't judge this particular strategy. but the world desperately needs more of this kind of mindset that emphasises effectiveness in politics and tries to avoid reflexive divisiveness and capitulation 👏

Labour donors run the Labour Party and they will never vote for a tax that will harm them.

Politicians are wealthy people so won't be voting for a wealth tax anytime soon 🤔
