Absolutely. This is crucial to understand, yet is missing from so much political analysis on "the left". We shouldn't be afraid to talk about our class interests and also to fight for them, even though the state has made being a socialist very difficult in the past and they still wish to do this, with their ever-increasing authoritarian laws regarding political action, as well as their intense surveillance methods. But we must remember that the ruling class ARE conscious of their interests and as such, they engage in the political system and implement policies which satisfy those interests. Even when they are divided, they know how to close ranks. The Labour Party, however, is completely at odds with the needs of the masses and has been more interested in securing the faith of "big business" (the ruling class) and abiding by the neoliberal consensus in politics than it has in representing the interests of the masses, apart from the brief period in which Jeremy Corbyn was leader and suggested modest reforms that were not radically left, yet terrified the ruling class nonetheless. Starmer fixed this though, purging the party of the left and getting it back on track (i.e. back to "the centre", which is really the right). Meanwhile, the Tories have been a catastrophe with crisis after crisis, and even though it looked like they would fall apart, they knew that they would have to close ranks and support their leader, in spite of the fact that they have all been consistently terrible. They are class conscious and they act accordingly - the rest of us should realise that it is not only acceptable for us to do the same, it is absolutely necessary. Otherwise, we are doomed, at the mercy of the ruling class and the "free market" that belongs to them.

We need to become class conscious. How much more evidence do we need to understand that the Tories ARE class conscious? We can see that these people, who went to the same schools and who came from the same backgrounds, go into politics in order to put policies into place that benefit them and others in their class. The Labour Party was set up by workers in order to represent the interests of working people, yet Starmer and co have been more interested in purging the party of the left and making it a safe bet for "big business" (in other words, the ruling class). It isn't good enough and we have been duped for years. The recent sh*tshow shows us that, even when they are in crisis, the Tories will close ranks because they know it is in their interests to do so. Even when they push it too far, they still manage to unite. It is time for the masses to realise that we need a party that will represent OUR interests and who will call the system out for what it is. As the campaign started by Mick Lynch and others says, "Enough is Enough".

I hope the BBC will stop giving these think tanks open access debate/ discussion shows unless there is complete transparency.

And Liz is de-facto ( hide under her desk) chancellor

They always seem like the members of some kind of cult when they are on. But they are right here. If you don’t know who funds them they shouldn’t be given a platform.

Brilliant video - keep hammering them!!

Lies, lies from tiny eyes.

She reminds of those careerists on The Apprentice

Think Tanks would be better if they didn't think. Because the ideas they have are total ridiculous. They should be held accountable. Accountable ✨

I've said it before ,and I'll say it again.what a fabulous channel this is .👍👍👍👍👍👍

Free markets is an economic model, it’s not a real thing. It’s strange to say you “belief” in free markets, it’s science. Believing is sometimes you do in the church. She cannot be an economist.

AMEN!

I called this awful woman out on Twitter...and she blocked me! So much for free speech

That woman IEA talking head looks so tense at how shallow her arguments are. Hilarious. Kick all these libertarians and tories out!

That was awesome

If you analise that woman's position it is basically: our clients want to influence the government and policy but want to do it secretely and with no chance of blowback.

The girl from 'Toro y Moi 'MAHAL' Listening Party' has let herself go.

That performance by Emily Carver is almost as good as her regular appearances on GBNews.

That woman was freaking the fuck out. Like a child caught stealing sweets

The Rand Corp released this jewel. Trends in Income From 1975 to 2018- From 1975 to 2018, the difference between the aggregate taxable income for those below the 90th percentile and the equitable growth counterfactual totals $47 trillion. It is trickling up to the top 10% Takes over 31k years counting that high at one count per second.

If this shine sone cleansing sunlight on these shadow think tanks. Then some good has come out of this whole debacle!!

Is a think tank actually a job ? I used to be in a tank regiment and I think I know where my barrel would be pointing at the moment

We’re an Educational Charity like Oxfam?? Errr…..does she know who actually Oxfam are? 😂😂😂.

We need to find out who these people are and go straight after them for interfering with democracy 🤬

The result of these right wing think tanks is evidenced by the fact that the bank of England had to step in twice within a timeframe of two weeks to prevent the downward plunge of sterling as a result of a govt implementing their advice is practically unheard off in modern times.These organisations should be both more transparent and regulated by law.Who really funds them?What is the basis for their existence?Who do they benefit?

Institute for Economic Affairs makes it sound like it's some sort of educational institution like London School of Economics. She is so embarrassing and won't last long in he job.

Emily Carver of the IEA interview = DESTROYED.

She attacked Max Mosley because of who he is related to? Max can't help who his dad is
