[applause] and as conservatives we believe twice. that's unfair. cutting national insurance contribution. our national insurance tax already worth 900 pounds to the average worker, and we will keep cutting taxes inhe coming years meaning by 2027th we havel attacks get to my friends friends come worth 1300 pounds [applause]■r making more progress towards our long-term ambitioavished the don work when it is economically responsible to dohing about the self-employed because they are thekt people who get our economy. they embody the most conservative of value. the desire to build something, to create wealth and opportunity. but setting off one your means you don't have securities that those on payroll to do. so

margaret thatcher famously said she wasn't for turning. you are obviously for turning.his is the old thing about hearts and heads, isn't it? you know, i rationally thought this was too difficult. i've changed my mind because i can't let down millions of people who would feel let down by me, unless i was at the front and led this charge over the course of the next five and a half years. a reform uk source says mr farage loves the theatre of it all and he certainly put himself centre stage at this election. the worry for the conservatives is that he will divert votes away from them. mr farage, who'd been called a chicken for not running, was also announced as the new reform uk leader. unlike other parties, without any sort of vote. when the election was called, mr farage had said it was too soon and he was also too busy with us politics. six weeks is such a short period of time to fight a parliamentary constituency and promote the cause around the country. and you know, i think rishi sunak has wrong—footed an awful lot of people, myself included. nigel paul farage. he's t
