I think what he proposes would make certain things better, but it would still be just a patch to a broken system.
Don’t think he should be ignored, but I also don’t think he is this saviour he thinks he is.

The left fails for many things but mainly because the media works with the elites and blame, create fake news, and dictate what the public think, want and feel.
Using the system around him and ultimately exploiting people, even if he advocates for good will, it is a choice, and something he can change. That’s what I’m blaming him for.
To me, what he wants is maintaining capitalism but just a little less biased in how wealth is shared. To me that is not real left. It does not address the many problems of capitalism.
Now he says he’s the only person on the left who really understands the British economy – and the people who wield the power
Humble, huh?
Stevenson still makes a lot of money trading, which he does “to demonstrate to myself that I’m not insane. A lot of people can say pessimistic things, but not a lot of them can make hundreds of thousands of pounds every year on financial markets. I don’t just say these things; I bet on them. And I make money every year. You can’t do that if you’re not right. If you made every economist who chats shit on the media bet their own personal money on what they’re saying, there’d be a lot less bullshit on the news.”
If he makes money off properties, gold and stocks without realising that that affects the housing crisis, the environment with gold mining, or there’s no ethical approach to what kind of companies he gets stocks from… He is still part of the problem. I don’t care how much he says he’s on the left.
If you don’t mind waiting a few months to get it delivered, the StarLite V sounds like it will be a great device (I’m currently waiting for mine).
I love how each year everything is more expensive, and my salary has not even increased the inflation in the last two years.
