1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,960
Speaker 1: Afternoon the Labor Party. He has officially won the UK election,

2
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:05,800
Speaker 1: with Serkia Staman now the Prime Minister in waiting outgoing

3
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:08,760
Speaker 1: Prime Minister Rishisunak has promised a peaceful transfer.

4
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 2: Of power today.

5
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:12,480
Speaker 1: Power will change hands in a peaceful and orderly manner,

6
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 1: with goodwill on all sides. That is something that should

7
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:20,240
Speaker 1: give us all confidence in our country's stability and future. Meanwhile,

8
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:23,319
Speaker 1: reformerly the Nigel Farage is Beck Baby, he's finally become

9
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 1: an MP on his eighth attempt at doing it. Henry

10
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 1: Riley is present around report for LBC's been collected with

11
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 1: Nigel Faraj as the results come in high Henry, Hello,

12
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: it's a pretty convincing victory for Nigel Farage, isn't it

13
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:37,159
Speaker 1: It is?

14
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 2: I mean, there were a sort of palpable excitement just

15
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,199
Speaker 2: before ten o'clock when the exit pole came in and

16
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 2: it looked like Nigel Farage and his party had done

17
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 2: pretty well. And I have to say they were absolutely

18
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 2: cockerhoop when they arrived at the count They were buzzing,

19
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 2: and in many ways rightly so. This is a new

20
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 2: political party. It's only been going for five years. Previously

21
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 2: it was called the Brexit party, but now Reform UK

22
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 2: has been that name. Since January twenty twenty one. They

23
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,279
Speaker 2: have won at least four seats. We know the exit

24
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 2: poll had predicted them to win thirteen. They'll settle for four,

25
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,680
Speaker 2: one source within the party told me will definitely take that.

26
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 2: And crucially though, among that number is Nigel Farage. And

27
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 2: it's difficult to underscore just how important that is. This

28
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 2: is the beating heart of his party here in Clacton.

29
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 2: He is a disruptor. He is the itch that the

30
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 2: Conservatives just cannot scratch. They cannot get rid of mister

31
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:38,479
Speaker 2: Farrage and obviously seven previous attempts at being an MP. Well,

32
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 2: voters in Clackson waking up this morning and Nigel Farage

33
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 2: is now heading to the House of Commons.

34
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: It's pretty remarkable that they've managed to get to this

35
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: play and that it was only three days and a

36
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 1: month that he'd ago that he decided to run. How

37
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: on earth does he managed to do it.

38
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 2: Well? I mean, when the election was announced Nigel Farrage,

39
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 2: who was only the sort of honorary presentident to have

40
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 2: Reformed UK. Whilst he set up the party, he wasn't

41
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 2: really involved and there was all this speculation he was

42
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 2: going to go and work for Donald Trump or go

43
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 2: in campaign to miss the Trump and he ruled himself out.

44
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 2: He said, six weeks is not enough time for me

45
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 2: to win my seat. And then a few days later

46
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 2: I think the anticipation. Nigel Farage clearly had been yearning

47
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 2: to get into the House of Commons and this was

48
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 2: too good an opportunity to throw away. He knew the

49
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 2: Conservatives were at perhaps the lowest point we may well

50
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 2: see them in the next one hundred years or so,

51
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 2: and so Nigel Farage smelt blood and he went for it.

52
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 2: And I mean he ran a fantastic campaign nationally, hence

53
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,679
Speaker 2: why he's gone from zero to four seats, and here

54
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 2: in Collacton in particular, he's managed to galvanize voters and

55
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 2: head to the House of Commons and look, he's got

56
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,359
Speaker 2: a tool order. He's made a lot of promises. He's

57
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 2: going to hold Labour speak to the fire on the

58
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 2: issue of small votes. He's got a long list of

59
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 2: priorities that he wants to see implemented. Clearly, with four MPs,

60
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 2: drafting with Labour's four hundred odds is going to be

61
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 2: a bit of a toul order. But the one thing

62
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 2: about Nigel Farage I referenced it earlier. He is a disruptor.

63
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 2: He knows how to make noise. He did it for years,

64
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 2: for decades in the European Parliament. He wants to bring

65
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,119
Speaker 2: that to the House of Commons, to make as much

66
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 2: noise as possible and to be a thorn in the

67
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,679
Speaker 2: side of the Conservatives, but also crucially Kir Starmer and

68
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 2: his new Labour governments.

69
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 1: Good stuff, Henry, Thank you so much for your time.
