Not as much as the other guy wanted to run the rich out of london. The proposed changes he was talking about would have driven a lot of wealth out of london including possibly the banking sector itself (75% tax on bankers bonuses).
The UK is currently the top location in the world for wealthy people to move their wealth to. The labour party wanted to go after that money and try to tax it. The result would have been a mass exodus (much like france saw with Hollande). Not something the UK needs imo.
