Summary

As Britain’s finances worsen, pressure is building for Labour to bring in a wealth tax on the super-rich – not least because Rachel Reeves has ruled out pretty much every other tax.

Stephen Kinsella of Patriotic Millionaires UK explains why we really do need to tax the rich (and why he doesn’t mind if it’s him). • Support us on Patreon for early episodes and more. • We are sponsored by Indeed.
