1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,840 Speaker 1: In the Brady UK correspondence with us. Now, Hey, Inda, 2 00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:06,640 Speaker 1: Hey Heather, how are you? Yeah, I'm good. Nigel Farage 3 00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:07,800 Speaker 1: is having a good time, isn't he? 4 00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:11,639 Speaker 2: Yes, he is so. All week long he's been talking 5 00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:17,040 Speaker 2: about deportations and removing six hundred thousand illegal migrants from 6 00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:20,400 Speaker 2: the UK if he becomes Prime minister. Today the D 7 00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:22,880 Speaker 2: word is on the front pages. But it's a defection 8 00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:28,520 Speaker 2: from the Conservatives, a Scottish member of Parliament called Graham Simpson. 9 00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:30,760 Speaker 2: He has announced that he will no longer be with 10 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:34,480 Speaker 2: the Conservatives and he is joining Reform UK. So we're 11 00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:40,120 Speaker 2: seeing this constant drip of defections. Basically Forage building up 12 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:43,159 Speaker 2: his forces, gaining more traction. He's riding high in the 13 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:46,720 Speaker 2: polls twenty six percent now, Labor and Starmer are on twenty, 14 00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:51,520 Speaker 2: Conservatives way behind on fifteen. It's all there for Forage. 15 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:53,920 Speaker 2: But you know we're four years out from the election. 16 00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:58,120 Speaker 2: That's a long time to maintain momentum. Now what's this. 17 00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 1: Chip's reason for wanting to join Reform? What's it for him? 18 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 2: Well, knowing politicians as I do and as you do, 19 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:08,560 Speaker 2: I would say self interest and self preservation. I think 20 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,199 Speaker 2: a lot of people in Scotland will be looking at 21 00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 2: the polling of the Conservative Party. You know, as much 22 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 2: as the SMP aren't doing brilliantly and Labor aren't, the 23 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,560 Speaker 2: Conservatives are fading away and I think there is a 24 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:23,960 Speaker 2: danger for them that north of the border as well, 25 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,480 Speaker 2: reforms start picking up some of their seats. 26 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,120 Speaker 1: Okay, now, what is going on with the French government? 27 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,679 Speaker 2: Inda, They're going to fall next week if we believe 28 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 2: all of the analysis coming out of France, all of 29 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 2: the political pundits believe that time is up for Francois Beyroux. 30 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,760 Speaker 2: He is going to be another short lived French Prime minister. 31 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 2: Macron has a huge crisis coming his way, so beiru 32 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 2: called a confidence vote. It will happen in the next 33 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 2: ten to twelve days and he's not going to win it. 34 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 2: So the left wingers have said they won't support him. 35 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 2: The hard right have said categorically, we're not supporting you. 36 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 2: We want a national election again. I actually covered the 37 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 2: previous election. It only seems like yesterday I was in 38 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,800 Speaker 2: Paris and there was lots of optimism with this guy 39 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 2: coming in. It's all over. Francoisberroux will fall and the 40 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 2: real issue is the economic situation facing France. They are 41 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,639 Speaker 2: running a GDP deficit of somewhere in the region of 42 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 2: five point eight percent this year, and the national debt 43 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 2: is touching getting on for five and a half trillion 44 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 2: and z dollars. 45 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,359 Speaker 1: Yees, I mean it's messive stuff, isn't it? 46 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:34,639 Speaker 2: Now? 47 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 1: Does Chep who won the Chase and then die? Do 48 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 1: we know why? He died? 49 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,360 Speaker 2: Long standing illness, his family have said, which he didn't 50 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 2: want to tell the producers of The Chase about because 51 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 2: he was very worried that, you know that they might 52 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,639 Speaker 2: say we can't have you on the show. He was 53 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 2: a huge, huge fan of The Chase, as a lot 54 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,119 Speaker 2: of us are. I watch it as often as I can, 55 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 2: and I think it's a brilliant show. Beating the Chaser 56 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 2: does not happen that often. Tim McCarthy, however, sixty four 57 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 2: years old, a head teacher from the Greater Manchester area. 58 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,239 Speaker 2: He went on the show and he beat the Chaser 59 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 2: with one second to go. Now nobody knew this, His 60 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 2: wife knew it, and his children knew it. And then sadly, 61 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 2: between filming and the episode being screened on British TV yesterday, 62 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 2: Tim passed away, so his wife invited all their family 63 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,200 Speaker 2: and friends to the local pub in Tildesley in Greater Manchester, 64 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 2: a pub called the Colliers, and they sat down at 65 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 2: five o'clock yesterday evening to watch the chase with everyone 66 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 2: else not knowing what happened. And I reckon, you could 67 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 2: have lifted the roof off that pub with the cheer 68 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 2: when Tim won and he walked away with one hundred 69 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 2: thousand dollars. 70 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 1: Hey, how far in advance of an airing do they 71 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 1: film it? 72 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 2: So I asked this question yesterday. They actually filmed that 73 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 2: episode October of last year and it wasn't broadcast. He 74 00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 2: passed away in July and it was not broadcast until yesterday. 75 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 2: There are months and months and months in advance. 76 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 1: Jeez, Hey, Inda, thank you so much. Appreciate it.
