In fairness to Zack he's offered clarification on tax policy. Clarification in the sense of waffle that usually starts with "let me be clear".
The logic seems to be that we carry on having underfunded everything while there's inequality. We certainly have more of that than other places, but that's not to say we've just got billionaires and paupers. The vast majority of those people are in between, just like in Denmark. No reason, if you seriously believe think the money you say is needed, that you can't raise tax on most of these people, except starting higher than Denmark does to allow for greater poverty in the UK. That might not be particularly popular in Clifton, Brighton or indeed North Herefordshire. So they're stuck with the wealth tax, and a few other things. Which really isn't that much different to Rachel Reeves. By all means, run on that, but you're going to have your share of "tough choices" too.
