Billionaire wealth keeps piling up. Everyone else is left with less and less. With this mountain of pasta, I show why we need to tax the Billionaires.

You fat cunt you've eaten all the pasta.

Wow, so many people defending billionaires, absolutely remarkable, billionaires don't give a toss about you.

Why have the billionaires done so well in the era of mass migration and money printing Richard?

Aside from eating, probably the best use of pasta I have seen 👏

We're left with less and less because we constantly vote ineffectual buffoons into government. Something you remind us of regularly.

Join the Greens, Richard. We will replace Labour.

@johnmcdonnellMP You know, you would really get on with this bloke, Richard

The economic literacy of a seven-year-old.

And when the billionaire and his packets of pasta fuck off to Italy .. how much pasta tax have you then Benny ???

There are 160 billionaires in the UK There total wealth is 640 billion The UK spend 1.3 trillion per year Tell you what Richard why dont you take the lot from all billionaire’s and fund the government for around 6 months Then what? Fool.

Another moron with a Scrooge McDuck understanding of money. 🙄

Excellent stuff from Richard Burgon. the man who - as we discussed on the Labour Left Podcast - always takes the class struggle into Parliament.

The only thing you are demonstrating is why you should be stacking shelves in a supermarket instead of being an MP.

@switherdenMP Here's some red wine to go with your pasta Richard 🤩 Tax the greedy. Not the needy @JohnEdwards33 @ivanwhite48 @simonmaginn @RedRosa91940184

That’s cute. But are you aware that British billionaires already pay more taxes than the entire north sea oil production AND they are rich enough to just leave the country right?

Billionaires will leave if they haven’t already and can easily afford to do so. What socialists always fail to recognise is that billionaires employ people and pay most of the tax bill as it is. Instead of pitting the country against the rich you should inspire entreneurship.

“I have never understood why it is "greed" to want to keep the money you have earned but not greed to want to take somebody else's money."- Thomas Sowell

Richard, show us what the the 1.2 trillion pounds of annual public expenditure would look like using your pasta for comparison.

Well described Richard. Taxing the billionaires would be a massive help and make it seem like everyone is contributing and not just the not so well off. They wouldn't even notice it either. Sadly they are clever and give handouts to MP's to help persuade them to tow the line

There are now 150 billionaires in the Uk 🇬🇧 Down from 177 in 2022 , they are leaving having paid millions in tax and creating 1000s of jobs along the way , they are going elsewhere due to the corupt successive governments who have wasted all that money by giving it away !!

Every time I think you couldn't possibly get anymore stupid, you confound me.

we all love having money in the bank but an economy works in a circle, it stops working properly if money circulation slows due to excessive hoarding. gov issues more to stimulate circulation and its hoarded again. cue hedgefund managers to come along and call you a lefty 🤣🤣🤣

Labour taxes on all of us keep piling up too, Richard. Guess what? Today they are going to get much worse.🤨🤨🤨

Sometimes an illustration helps to deliver the message. The key word is (Wealth tax). Countries like Norway, Spain, and Switzerland already have wealth tax, France, Italy, Belgium, and the Netherlands have taxes on specific assets. Time to shrink the gap by 1% which is nothing.

When the rich leave .. where are you going to find money from?

@premnsikka Government spending + investment + consumption + (exports - imports) = GDP Cutting government spending cuts growth & causes austerity. In both the UK & US Gov deficits mirror private sector surpluses; it's almost as if Gov spending creates private wealth!

He deceives the economically illiterate with fuzzy math.

Your PM seems awfully chummy with a few billionaires, so perhaps he can start with them? Lord Alli, Bill Gates, Larry Fink, the Bamfords. Shall I continue? Thought not. The truth is far too inconvenient for Labour.

You know, economics says you can actually grow the pie. It is not a zero sum game. Please go back to school, and read what your king, George III did to foster the people's ability to increase the wealth of your fair island.

What an absolute fiscally ignorant fool. Image embarrassing yourself by making a video like this? This should be on every social media platform come the next election, to show just how fiscally ignorant and incompetent the Labour MP’s like this are!

You don’t understand the difference between the valuation of a capital asset and the production of goods and services. You can’t consume a share certificate.

How would you fund the tax yeild drop this would cause?
