"Well guys, you're gonna have to learn his f*cking name now."

I went on a rant at the Zohran Mamdani event last night, against billionaires who spent millions to try and stop a guy whose name they refuse to correctly pronounce.

If I was this Labour govt, I would just go for it across the board in the next budget.
Reform welfare, ditch the triple lock, reform income tax / NI / council tax the lot.
Get ourselves on a much more stable footing, with a more coherent tax / welfare system.
