mark littlewood, director of popcorn and former director of the institute of economic affairs.bold statement that is saying anybody in this room that is earning, you know, an average mean salary is paying less tax than anyone for nearly 50 years. wow. they must be doing rather well. >> well, jeremy hunt seems to think so. here's the problem, though, nigel, as you'll know well, if you're listening to an economist or a politician, always read the fine print and it's the important fine print. in what jeremy hunt said, i believe he's technically correct . he mentions personal taxes, so he's measuring your national insurance and your income tax contributions . and if you're an contributions. and if you're an average earner, given everything he's done, that might be down a bit. but that's not what the average earner thinks about. they think about their overall take pay. so don't know take home pay. so i don't know if smoke you'll be if you smoke tobacco, you'll be paying if you smoke tobacco, you'll be paying more in tax paying a lot more in tax in a different fashion. if your counci

the head of the institute for economic affairs, mark littlewood. ee you, great to see you, mark, and happy birthday. well, god bless you for that. listen, i don't don't look 50, but that's just the lighting, if the tories have nothing not ditch sunak? >> you know , this is crazy talk >> you know, this is crazy talk in my view, as well as being a politics nerd. i'm a football nerd. and you know what? football teams are most famous for ditching their manager as soon as something goes wrong. i'm told in the premier league, the average tenure of a football manager is just two years. if the conservatives drop their leader now , it will be about leader now, it will be about every two years. they're changing their leader. every two years. they're changing their leader . and the changing their leader. and the problem is i think it's a cloak for something actually more serious and potentially worse for the conservatives. it's not the personnel, it's the policy. we've heard in your monologue about how britain's become workless growth is therefore on the floor
