About this episode
The idea of a wealth tax has never been more popular in Britain, and while many have campaigned for it, none have done more to boost the demand than one man: Gary Stevenson. The former city trader first joined us on Downstream four years ago. A lot has changed since then. This week, after a bruising round of media including attacks from Piers Morgan and the Guardian, Gary sat down to give his side of the story to Novara Media’s Aaron Bastani. What are the fair critiques of a wealth tax, and how does Gary engage with them? Why does Gary claim the British middle class is facing collapse? What would he say to Andy Burnham? What does he think needs to be done, to keep out Farage and Reform? And do the recent spate of attacks in the media show that - counter to what they say - Gary’s actually winning the argument?
