1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:01,800 Speaker 1: In the Brady UK correspondence with us. 2 00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:04,640 Speaker 2: Now, Hey Inda, hey Heather, good to speak to you again. 3 00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:05,680 Speaker 1: Do we believe this poll? 4 00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:10,680 Speaker 3: So this poll is putting Nigel Faraji in Downing Street 5 00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:13,119 Speaker 3: as Prime Minister. In four years time, it would be 6 00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:16,000 Speaker 3: a hung parliament. What I think is really shocking for 7 00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:19,400 Speaker 3: Keir Starmer and indeed the leader of the Conservative Party, 8 00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:23,680 Speaker 3: Kenmy Badenoch, is just the extent to which their political 9 00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:28,520 Speaker 3: support at constituency level across the UK has fallen away 10 00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:32,560 Speaker 3: in a very short space of time. So Reform UK 11 00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:37,400 Speaker 3: currently have five members of Parliament. This poll says if 12 00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:39,879 Speaker 3: there was an election this week, Reform will be on 13 00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:43,360 Speaker 3: two seven eight. That's how many seats they would win, 14 00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:46,479 Speaker 3: two hundred and seventy eight. Labor would fall away to 15 00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,360 Speaker 3: one hundred and seventy one and the Conservatives would drop 16 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,800 Speaker 3: down to forty six seats. They would be basically a 17 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:57,800 Speaker 3: minor political party. Now, if you add Labor and Conservatives together, 18 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 3: they still wouldn't have as many seats as Reform. It's 19 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:07,320 Speaker 3: a long way out from the next election four years out. 20 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 3: But I think as we approach Keir Starmer's first anniversary 21 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,200 Speaker 3: and power next week, he needs to start sitting down 22 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,600 Speaker 3: with his people and working out how to tackle reform 23 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,119 Speaker 3: because they are running away with it in the polls. 24 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, So I mean this could just be a 25 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 2: I don't know, like a protest vote, a protest poll result. 26 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:27,760 Speaker 2: Does it actually a people actually who are saying to 27 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 2: the posters right now that they would vote for reform? 28 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 2: Will they actually walk into a bellot booth and vote 29 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 2: for reform in these numbers? 30 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 3: All I can say anecdotally from people I've spoken to 31 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,680 Speaker 3: a summer barbecues and various different social events over the 32 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 3: last few months, everyone is sick of the system. You've 33 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 3: had two parties rule the UK for a century, Conservatives 34 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 3: mostly and then Labor, and people have had enough. They 35 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 3: think something has to change. And Farage seems to be 36 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 3: right now flavor of the month. But as I say, 37 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 3: we're forty eight months out from an election, so let's 38 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 3: see what happens. But I think when it comes down 39 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 3: to it, is he realistically going to change life for 40 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 3: the better for many people in the UK. And does 41 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 3: reform have the political roots? You know how a political 42 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 3: party needs various different departments, It needs really switched on 43 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 3: people doing everything. I'm not sure they have that level 44 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:23,960 Speaker 3: of depth right now. 45 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, fair point. Now, how do you feel about all 46 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,080 Speaker 1: these leaders sucking up to Trump at. 47 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,919 Speaker 3: The moment, Well, kir Starmer has led the way really. 48 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:34,920 Speaker 3: So there was a couple of big announcements we had 49 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 3: on the money side of things. We know Trump loves 50 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 3: the deal. He's managed to convince the UK that it 51 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 3: needs to buy American made F thirty five A fighter jets, 52 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,640 Speaker 3: twelve of them. An order has gone in yesterday, which 53 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 3: are capable of carrying nuclear weapons. So Starmer says that 54 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 3: is something that the UK needs are right now, the 55 00:02:56,200 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 3: UK only fire nuclear missiles from a submarine. Wants to 56 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 3: broaden out the capabilities there. And then secondly, the state visit, 57 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 3: which I was briefed would happen in twenty twenty six, 58 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 3: if not twenty seven, is now being brought forward to 59 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:16,520 Speaker 3: this September. Wow, because Trump wants it as soon as so. 60 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 3: He's a very transactional president, we know that much. And 61 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 3: he is ringing everything, every last dropout of the UK 62 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 3: right now. And Starmer seems to be the only person 63 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,680 Speaker 3: in Europe who has any kind of a decent relationship 64 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 3: with him. It's absolutely fascinating. 65 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 1: And I don't know Mark Rutter does now that he's 66 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:34,640 Speaker 1: called him daddy. 67 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the level we've got to. Yeah, you have 68 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 3: to sit down with the President of America and call 69 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 3: him daddy to have his ear. I mean, honestly, I've 70 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 3: never seen such what's the word obsequiousness? 71 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the perfect word for it. Hey, you, I 72 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 2: know you love running. Have you caught up on what 73 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 2: our boy Sam have he has done?

If they finish it 84 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 2: in thirty five minutes, they've got time to spend the 85 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,039 Speaker 2: rest of the time napping, eating, getting a massage. He 86 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 2: did it one hundred and eighteen times. He ran seven 87 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 2: hundred and eighty four k's in nearly five days, and 88 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:29,920 Speaker 2: then collapsed. 89 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 3: Good god right, Well, I take my hat off to him.
