1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,920
Speaker 1: Back to Britain history unfolding. Voting day comes to an end.

2
00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:05,360
Speaker 1: Your government has been well. They're going to be announced

3
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:08,240
Speaker 1: about nine o'clock this morning. The LBC brickfasides Nick Ferrari's

4
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:09,080
Speaker 1: where's Nick? Morning?

5
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:11,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, Hi, good morning. Listen. Apologies for the background noise.

6
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:16,800
Speaker 2: I'm at a music festival my part. There's certy Ellis

7
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:19,079
Speaker 2: Bexter playing now and it would be murrer on the

8
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 2: dance floor for me if I hadn't come here with

9
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:23,919
Speaker 2: my girlfriend. So good to have the AUGI discrye with

10
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:25,119
Speaker 2: you guys. It's all well over there.

11
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:27,480
Speaker 1: Everything's well over here. How big a party are the

12
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 1: Labor Party going to have in a couple of hours

13
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 1: do you think?

14
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 2: Oh? Look, I think you're looking at a huge one.

15
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 2: The biggest majority to date is one hundred and seventy nine.

16
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:41,920
Speaker 2: That the first Tony Blair presidency. The poll that closed

17
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 2: the elections in the UK last night is predicted two

18
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:48,199
Speaker 2: hundred and twelve. That would take us back to the

19
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 2: majority we've not seen in the United Kingdom since the

20
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 2: mid eighteen hundreds. Personally, I don't think we get to

21
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 2: two hundred and twelve. You get to a whopping the

22
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 2: way a whopping labor with I would have thought it's

23
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 2: definitely three figures one, twenty one, thirty one, forty and

24
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,320
Speaker 2: Rishie Sunak, who remember called the election in the middle

25
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 2: of a downpour, I think, is into a deluge of

26
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 2: voters going against the Conservatives.

27
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: Does he lose his seat?

28
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:14,680
Speaker 2: It looks like he's okay. That's a very good question.

29
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:18,400
Speaker 2: And had you asked me yeah recently as two weeks ago,

30
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 2: I'd have thought there's a real problem. There's something quite

31
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 2: interesting in British politics. Voters like to think they have

32
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 2: the PM as their quote local MP. So yet he

33
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:31,039
Speaker 2: was under pressure. I could now bore your listeners to

34
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 2: death with various polls that would show the swing would

35
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 2: be big enough. But I think it's this extraordinary thing,

36
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 2: the thing that the PM enjoys that you hang on.

37
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 2: So I think Rishi will survive. I don't know how

38
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 2: far down the batting or do you want to go,

39
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 2: But you're looking at chancells and defense secretaries who I

40
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 2: think are very nervous tonight.

41
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: Is Starmer up to running such a large party in government?

42
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 2: What a good question. I refer you to some TV debates,

43
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 2: one at which he was started to say about how

44
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 2: his father was a tool maker. Everybody laughed, and everybody

45
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 2: laughs because we have heard this line every single time

46
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,920
Speaker 2: and he didn't take well to it. His issue is

47
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 2: simply this. If he has a stalking majority, that means

48
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 2: that just as the Conservatives are riven into and I

49
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 2: fully accept that, so are the Labor Party. There is

50
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 2: a hardcore, a momentum side of the Labor Party that

51
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 2: is very much to the left, that is up for

52
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 2: increasing taxation, up for the Palestinian side in the Middle

53
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 2: East debate. We are about to see Sekeir Starmer's political skills.

54
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 2: This is the job he's dreamt of since being a boy.

55
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 2: I will tell you now he will cross the threshold

56
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:43,639
Speaker 2: at some point later tonight English British time or tomorrow morning.

57
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,639
Speaker 2: Then in many ways, actually his biggest challenge begins.

58
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: There are they voting today for policies that they know

59
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 1: and understand in Labor or simply because they don't like

60
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 1: the Tories anymore?

61
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,399
Speaker 2: The latter I think if you could simply have candidates

62
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 2: and say we don't want the Tours, would win every

63
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 2: single possible seat. Look, I'm old enough to have been

64
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 2: around back when Tony Blair first came to power and

65
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,839
Speaker 2: I can tell you there was a genuine zeal. There

66
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 2: was an enthusiasm. There was a belief in a better

67
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 2: Britain than Tony Blair as a young prime minister espouse.

68
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 2: So Kia will go in actually as one of the

69
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 2: older prime ministers when he starts work. Admittedly we're not

70
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 2: looking at the United States situation here, but it is

71
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 2: very much dissatisfaction with a conservative fourteen and a bit

72
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 2: years how a puddle has been completely drained. That is

73
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 2: what's driving the votes in the UK.

74
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: And Nick Farag, how many seats do you reckon?

75
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 2: Okay? Uh Fag told me at the start he thought

76
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 2: he could get to five. I think he's singing in

77
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 2: a little. The predictions are he gets three, he wins

78
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 2: eighth time out. Remember eighth time he becomes a winner

79
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 2: in tractaon in Essex, the second biggest Brexit voting community

80
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 2: or constituency in the whole of the country. He gets that.

81
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 2: Richard ties the man as won't know, but he's big

82
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 2: in the in politics here. He gets probably three to four,

83
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 2: I would suggest, but remember our bazaar first part. The

84
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 2: post system means he'll get plenty of votes, he won't

85
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 2: get plenty.

86
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 1: Of mp Good to see you, make you go, enjoy

87
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:14,760
