parties. with nigel political parties. with nigel farage holding most of the chairs, that will change, he says,. here he was arriving earlier, greeted by supporters and at the conference they are just playing a video. that is why we are just waiting to see him take to the stage. behind him take to the stage. behind him is also another seat of the house of commons. nigel farage is saying that he is going to change the structure of the party, it was initially set up as a private company, he said to fast—track the creation of the brexit party. now, reform in time for the european elections. he wanted to stop the party being hijacked by bad people, but now it is going to change its structure. we are just waiting for it nigel

farage to take to the stage where a number of supporters are not —— let's listen into. you can seem as the far right will consider stage as i say, they have mps. he takes as its a fairly late, having initially said, you're not going to try to win a seat but they did take 14% of the breaks. underthe

they did take 14% of the breaks. under the proposed new constitution, members will be able to have more say what is going on, coming close —— including what is —— including change party leaders. the chairman of hugh from ukraine has said that the membership has said that the membership hasjumped by 15,000 —— of the chair man of reform uk has said that the membership hasjumped by 15,000. the partnership ship —— party focuses on increasing privacy membership. they said they want to put more support ahead of the next local elections and talking about the potential prime minister for a ride share in eight years to come. —— potential premise and nigel farage for years to come. but let us see what he has to say. —— potential prime minister nigel farage for years to come.

thank you. cheering and applause wow. just give me a second. just give me a second. just them? do you like them? very expensive. but guess what,

i bought them myself, how about that! about to tell you, the energy, the optimism, the enthusiasm that we have got in this room not something that can be replicated by any other political party in this country. i wonder whether this has ever been, whether there's ever been a party conference in this country we have this level of energy and fun. thank you so, so much. all of you, for coming along and supporting us. it was the middle of may, end of may this year and my life was going pretty well. i had just had a big 60th birthday. i

may not bad health, which is down to clean living. laughter . graciousjob four laughter . gracious job four nights a week at gb news, which i was laughing —— wait tojob week at gb news, which i was laughing —— wait to job four nights a week. just mend rated news presenter of the year for use in a row. and i had it not one, but two grandchildren on the way. the first of whom i am delighted to say was born on june the 23rd, brexit today, how about that! —— brexit do, how about that! —— brexit do, how much that! i was doing well, making money, no pressure, no abuse from the

press. life could not have been better and then rishi sunak announced a snap general election and i think to myself giving the short time period, is there anything i can do and actually, what i want to do it? would i want to give up a really, easy rule —— easy life and one that involves weekends of? would i want to give it up? i would hit it possible in such a short time frame? well, i thought to myself, we havejust had 1a years of conservative government and the last four years since boris won in 2019 has been one of a complete breach of trust with the british public are no truly historical scale. british public are no truly historicalscale. —— british public are no truly historical scale. —— on a truly hysterical scale.

historical scale. —— on a truly hystericalscale. i historical scale. —— on a truly hysterical scale. i was upset about it for the damage it does to duck democracy but also upset about it because don't forget, i stood aside in that 2090 general election because we wanted to get brexit over the line —— 2019 general election because we wanted to get brexit over the land election because we wanted to get brexit over the [and after years of agony and struggle. i thought we have left but having taken control back over our borders? have we given our five and a half to 6 million men and women running their own business have weakly regulated and made their lives easier better? in fact, at almost a wee level, will be betrayed. i thought about what was happening on our streets. the rise of knife crime, the rise of gun crime, the fear of people even in this smartest parts of london to go out for a drink or dinnerand fora parts of london to go out for a drink or dinner and for a man to weara drink or dinner and for a man to wear a watch or woman to wear jewellery.

to wear a watch or woman to wearjewellery. i thought about what mass uncontrolled immigration on a scale the likes of which we have never seen had done to divide our communities. i looked at the fact that frankly without massive public borrowing, they would have been no growth in our economy for year after year after year. an nhs for which you can't get a gp appointment, roads that are clocked beyond comprehension and frankly i thought to myself britain is broken. applause i could not help its if britain is broken, then logically, britain needs reform. so i was really in a terrible quandary as to what to do, genuinely. and then i went down to dover

for a day. i went tojoin richard up in skegness, lee in his constituency of ashfield and are going to have people on the street looking up to me, speaking to me if i was almost letting them down by not giving up my letting them down by not giving up my lovely life. anywhere, in the end, i thought was obstacles the fact they've got a few weeks, the fact that 40% of the population don't yet know who will even is, i thought despite all of that, actually, there are two achievable goals in those four weeks and three days. the first, clear achievable goal was to get millions of votes at the second which i know from difficult experience how difficult experience how difficult the first past the post system is but i believe

that we could establish a beachhead in parliament by getting a few people elected. i am proud to say that in the early hours of the 5th ofjuly, both of those objectives were realised. cheering and applause that is all that is is just the first big step in what i now believe, if you're with me, if you support me, if you are prepared to help me, then it will become the bank —— the first big step in what i believe a truly astonishing, historic journey that can believe a truly astonishing, historicjourney that can do something to do our country good, to another is to have gone before us and to give our children and grandchildren a

better future. children and grandchildren a betterfuture. now, we could have done better. you could have done better. you could have done better. but at that stage of the game and it is absolutely not knocking richard and what he did to keep the thing alive for all those years, we were not big enough. give richard a brand of applause. go on. —— give richard a round of applause. we just iraq's edge of our development, we were not big enough, wealthy enough —— on that stage of our development, when big enough, wealthy enough and we were let down, amateurism let down. we could have won a lot more rates and there were lessons we need to learn from that. as i stood after the account in

collecting, in those early hours ofjuly the 5th, i said that yes of course, i would represent the constituency, the city was in parliament whether i had a job and myjob was to profession as an democracy —— democratise reform uk for that that was a solemn promise and pleasure that made the members. i'm professionalisation, we have made some changes. richard is now my deputy leader who also sits in parliament and subs for me as to lady when i am not there and that was a good solid, sound appointment i know you will agree. and then, somebody of exceptional talent who i met over a decade ago we abated during the campaign on

the scene. he is a young man in his mid to late 30s who has done rather well and life, who is really rather patriotic who just gave a brilliant speech is conference and i really think having zia as our chairman has already made a massive difference to our level of professionalisation. around them, are a small but very professional team, just look at what they have put on in this conference, isn't it show the incredible? isn't is beautifully done? we are recruiting right now to get full time at regional managers and regional organisers so i feel that my promise to professionalise the party is now on track. i also promise

you that in future, we will be vetting candidates rigorously at all levels. i promise you that, we have not got time, we have not got a room for a few extremists to wreck the work of a party that now has 80,000 meant members and rising —— 80,000 members and rising every single day. but it is the democratisation of the party that perhaps i have been the most criticise although having said that, i am quite used for been criticised for virtually everything. any major terrible events that happens in the country is clearly my fault.

luckily, i set this up as a limited company. it was guaranteed by shares and i own to 60% of the shares. now, i could make a joke and say that it led to streamlined decision—making but i did it for two reasons. one, we had no time. no time to get established and a leader somebody of experience to make decisions, right or wrong and that structure allows me to do that. but secondly, i did it new or nascent political parties are vulnerable to being hijacked by extremist groups and bad actors and all the while i had control of it, that

could never happen. that could never happen. applause because we don't want extremist. we don't want biggest, we don't want people who think that way because we represent the silent decent majority of this great country that we live in. but the time has come. the inference that reform uk was has been growing up. we had been teenage tantrums which were those that caused us a harm in their general election. but when now it is a different points, the is adults and this weekend is when reform uk comes of age. we

come of age. and so, i've got to make and i want to make the necessary adjustments. there will be before you tomorrow, who had is already on e—mail, there will be a vote to morning on the constitution for the party. we change the structure of a party, no longer will it be a company guaranteed by shares but a company limited by guarantee, it will be a non—profit—making organisation. and i will not be the shareholder, in fact, and i will not be the shareholder, infact, i and i will not be the shareholder, in fact, i do know is going to be the shareholder of a form you create? you, the members, will own this party. you will own it despite party not to be. —— make your own at this party not me next month we will have a board to manage the party if significant representation from the members and that's a board will be

there to safeguard how we are operating. to prevent entries, we would not want a carbon style take the role, we are to be of our party as labour suffered a few years ago —— but a corbin style take over. the real —— its not their share such, it is not a management mode. it is theirs. we have already set up and we are in process of setting up right now across the country and bear in mind, we have done this in two months. 266 constituency association. that is an incredibly vast eve. —— vast reef. we need those bright associations in literally every

constituency in the land. i went up in the campaign it to sunderland to do a public event. it was organised at 48 a was noticed and a thousand people arrived. it was incredible. —— it was organised at 48 hours notice. we arrived in sunderland where they generally don't like people from newcastle, but we went to john holt who was there, he was here with us today. malcolm sayer, john. john said to me. he is getting on a bit but he has done everything to live. he said the problem is that these thousand people or go home and not know anybody else and it is really what anna milton was talking about this morning. it is about building teams. it's about having unity. it is through the branches that we get the structures. it is through the branches that we raise money. it is through the branches that we find the

necessary candidates to fight elections. it is through the branches part of our local community, notjust a national political party. there is a template for this. i never thought that i would would say this, but we have to do i do ourselves on the liberal democrats. —— mcgrath the model ourselves on the liberal democrats. that does not mean that you will see me cascading down waterfalls. and i went to behave in a way that i think is particularly stupid even if at the other thing i do. liberal democrats that build branches, they would democrats win seats at district, county and unitary level. the liberal democrats but on that strength. they put literature and leaflets through doors it in their target areas. and despite the fact they have not got any policies until...

in fact, the whole thing is we want the fact he was, isn't it? they manage with the right to much lower than ours to win 72 seats in parliament —— malay manager with a right to make much lower than our two and 72 seats in parliament. i actually giving you the responsibility for making this a success. whatever we do. whatever we do or related or as they are does of the mps do, whatever our manager me team do, whatever as sellers social media guys do, that can only take so far. we will not realise our dream unless the people's army of supporters are organised. and as a people's army of

supporters are held to professionalise. unless those peoples armies fight elections not just as a peoples armies fight elections notjust as a paper denim and a name on the balance but with the intention of winning as many seats —— but notjust as they papered name on the ballot but of the intention of winning seats. it is a historic missing according to what you 4000 good folk are able to do an impasse over the course of the next four years. over the course of the next fouryears. it over the course of the next four years. it is up to you. it really is up to you. i am used to being an impossible politicaljourneys. i was told that nigel, you are wasting your time. you are wasting your breath. britain were never ever leave the european union. well, it might have taken a long time but you know what? we damn well that they did against the entirety of the british

establishment. and so, when the end comes along and share my as as it is obvious that we are fighting to win the next general election and people think that bloke... it might have been or right in business but he has lost his marbles! . but i'd -- but he has lost his marbles! . but i'd —— but but he has lost his marbles! . but i'd -- but i but he has lost his marbles! . but i'd —— but i don't think there's ever been a time where there's ever been a time where there has been weighted this enticement in the two big parties that have dominated our political life of the last 100 years. labour have that one through love —— might have not won through love. so the opportunity is there and that is why we must take the english county council elections next year plus areas like doncaster and thurrock whether district councils are up our first big test of fire comes on the first

thursday in may next year. going to need over 2000 candidates. you're going to need you organised behind them, helping them. i genuinely believe that if we get next may right, we can produce a result thatis right, we can produce a result that is truly astonishing. we can get hundreds and hundreds of people elected to council is to be giving visitors of this possibility to make as part of the lives of fake living in their communities. the opportunity is enormous. so i ask you, i eager to help us in this historic mission? —— i ask you, are you going to help us in this historic mission? thank you. we will go on the next year. scotland, was a remarkable... so a couple of kills earlier thought they must

have come from there. the fact that we are neck and neck in the polls the conservatives in scotland already. the fact that a small team managed to field candidates who did not embarrass us in every single one of those scottish constituencies, there are opportunities there. in wales, wales will i elect under the proportional representational system. it is not, david, the most astonishing opportunity? these are are all our building blocks. is all the big houses we have to get over. it will succeed in 25, we build even bigger in 2026 and we keep going then i promise you, sky is the limit. sky is the limit.

have a look at what we're up against. journalists are abscessed he is going to be the next conservative leader —— matt the journalists are obsessed. who was the one i most want? whose do i least what? from what i can work out? one of them is campaigning as a liberal democrat, one of them thinks that having worked in mcdonald's in a week makes and working class. but there appears to have had a damascene conversion from being part of the establishment and establish view to slightly say things that many of us in this room went we do agree with but lacks any discernible personality whatsoever. and he would either party that is split down the middle anyway and the loss of the fort has got the most

inappropriate surname that i've ever come across in my life —— but the last of the four, and this indicates an iq of higher than the actually have. and the truth is i don't give a damn who the next leader of the conservative party is. i really don't. not quite about them was that it doesn't matter —— matter who leads them, their brand is vast. the band is broken! people will not go back to them, they have let down so badly. as for labour, goodness me! have you ever known a new prime minister gets off to our worst start then keir starmer? it is truly shocking. i mean the message of this could ellie get worse is highly inspiring, is it? —— but things could only get worse is hardly inspiring?

they were denied in westminster until the cows come home. we are living in a state with two tier policing. we are living in a state with two—tiered justice. we are living in a state that is led by two tier keir and we have had enough already. 0ne keir and we have had enough already. one in four of those who waited labour and the general election onjuly who waited labour and the general election on july the 4th. general election onjuly the 4th. 0ne general election onjuly the 4th. one in four already say they are considering, they are inclined to vote for reform uk. we do not need to change the amount of a single person

living in this country. —— much to change the mind of a single person living in this country because the silent majority of the with us on the key issues that we care about. we can win the general election just for the general election just for the numbers of people that agree with our that family, that agree that community, that agreed that the country should be the things that absolutely everybody in british public life campaigns for because they are the most important things to all of us who live here. what we have to do is to be credible. what we have to do is to be on the ground everywhere. what we have to do is to show that we can bring success after success after success. if we do this things, we generally can and i never thought i would say this but i generally believe

that we can change the future in politics and we can change the future of our country. we can perhaps get back a little bit of pride in what it is to be british, what it is to respect our history. what it is to stand up for our values. what it is to understand the judeo—christian culture underpins everything we are, everything we've ever stood for, we believe. to end, to end this madness that is going through corporate life, that is going through most of the public sector, which reminds me there's a lady called dame alison rose. she was the head of natwest bank. but she saw fit for her organisation not just to debunk me, but to leak
