mr farage is holding a reform party conference in kemi badenoch constituency. he told martin daubney although it was the right thing to do, we haven't grasped the opportunities that could have come with it. >> there are so many things that we stayed aligned to, including most of their rule book. now, clearly what keir starmer wants to do is in terms of, of defence and perhaps even foreign policy, tie us closer to the european union. from the sounds of it, he wants us to start mirroring the single market rulebook. i mean, none of that is good. but is keir starmer going to take us back into the european union? no, he is not. so i just see this now as being unfinished business. you're quite right. starmer was an uber remainer, a rejoiner wanted to have a second referendum. the tories, from what i can see now, never really believed in it. so reform are the only people who can finish the only people who can finish the job. >> despite the economic disadvantages. conservative leader kemi badenoch is remaining positive. >> five years ago we had what was the greatest vo

to, you know, give an advantage to the afd, or if it's configured to give an advantage to the reform party uk, you know, is that legal? is that interference in the election campaigns of europe? and this is actually a big political question now in europe, which is it's not just musk himself and the, you know, the what seem to be now deliberately provocative, deliberately, you know, kind of nazi, quasi nazi or even real nazi things that he's saying. but it's also the fact that he runs a very influential social media platform whose algorithms can. be can be manipulated. >> so and let's broaden this a little bit here, because. >> you can't talk about elon musk right now without talking about donald trump. >> and we. >> saw over. >> the weekend. >> that trump. >> did break. >> with musk a little bit. because he had a phone. >> call with uk prime minister. >> keir. >> starmer. >> praised him. >> said. >> he was a good man. you know, we know musk has. >> been sharply. >> critical of. >> the. >> prime minister here. >> but how is. >> europe, europe. >> leaders that you've. spoken to. >> how are th

if only browder's mild reforms to the parties outlook had been allowed to contain you and it had gone beyond simply declaring itself an association rather than a partizan kind of loosened party discipline, but had somehow affected a genuine reinvention itself. as a american political movement, drawing its inspiration from american sources and predecessors like debs garrison, douglas stanton and, many others who and had gone its way independent of the soviet union again, sort of prefiguring the euro communism of 1970s, which that was a powerful force when i was writing this. and then to disappear that that narrative. i now disagree with that somehow could have turned out differently. and i now have come to reject that. that logic. i've never said that quite because much more powerful communist and socialist and social democratic movements in western europe dissolved in the and eighties and how could that tiny american communist party thrive in this country, which is much more conservative when those movements once they tried to to to cut their ties with the soviet union? well, the comm

election but, boy, the general election but, boy, the bigger parties have noticed bigger parties have really noticed reform'sted reform's rise. both of those for manoeuvre politically ted room for manoeuvre politically and diplomatically for the prime minister. studio: indeed. chris mason, thank you for our political brussels. 5 brussels. let's get more live from brussels. let's get more on why president trump has on why president trumo has been : tariffs on the likes of threatening tariffs on the likes of canada, china and mexico, and there could be next? —— where could be next? thanks, clive. the question is why. in general. than the us sells abroad. you can see the likes of china, mexico and canada all have now the us also has a large deficit with the eu, as we were hearing — over $200 billion. its own farm produce. but at the end there, us—uk trade is broadly in balance — in fact a small surplus for the us. well have a deficit on goods, but what about services? the us sells much more in services to europe than the other way round. like gas and oil. for his government. of income taxes over there. but to r

awful lot. is at risk of losing or indeed already has lost to reform on their right. is basically the question of whether the conservative party voted remain was that the reason the uk had voted to leave and immigration needed to come down. interesting in and of itself. i didn't know that. i think i mean, i don't know about you, laura. it almost never comes up when. you don't want to talk about it. i think immigration does come up. but yeah, brexit doesn't. but partly you have to you can't forget that i cannot begin to tell you the level of drama right. and i don't mean drama like, oh, it was fun and it was amazing. like people, you'd see them crying, shouting at each other, screaming at each other, and years or... political party, plotting against each other, they just don't want to talk about it. people just don't want to talk about it. borisjohnson�*s huge victory in 2019 because lots that's where get it done came from. which is why it's interesting actually we've got ed davey on tomorrow. helsreally.trying--,,, .. . . ,. . h...” on the european union and keir starmer, you know, that open that debate. brexit has completely

and many folks have been concerned about campaign finance reform and the way that both parties can beng something worse than that. if you're worried about the big, powerful people buying through campaign contributions, now we have it going direct to the politicians. so wall street journal reporting on how meta is actually giving $25 million directly to trump. all because they followed. what were their policies at the time, given the what they deemed the dangerous type of inciting speech going into jan sixth? the crypto money and the other examples i gave were elon musk pocketing money from the government that goes back into their personal wealth. do you think that there's an opening, perhaps, for people who care about this, or the loyal opposition, to attack these issues as pocketbook issues? i quoted rachel maddow on that point, rather than sort of vague, albeit important, democracy and rule of law issues. >> well. >> look, i'm not a political strategist. >> i wouldn't, you know, be the right person to ask for advice on. how to criticize this administration in a politically effective

reformation or not? the key to that is will trump have long-term political success or failure. parties do what they think works. >> to democrats capitalize on a class like this? is there an inevitable clash that immigrants can capitalize on? >> let's back up. this apology that you all have that there is a split in the republican party. there is no split in the republican party. it is all trump. get over it. mitt romney is not walking through that door. maga-ism is not going to die with trump. it is going to breed more and more . mitt romney is gone. >> we are going to disagree on this. i think maga is going to mutate entitled to the mutations will be. >> in every program, i select a clip of william f. buckley jr. . in a particular episode, richard nixon appears with william f. buckley jr. and richard nixon argues that, at least in 1967, voters have lost confidence with the democratic party and their ability to govern. >> i would say that last year, in terms of the way the two parties presented their cases across the country, to the people, the democratic party seemed to be the party of

regarding the extreme controlling the parties and primary being the problem this time i was here, i think you were here. somebody was talking about reform the primaries and do you remember nick something from colorado so what about informing primaries and the thing i most about is ranked choice voting what about that. >> things in experiments going on that pretty and again the real issue is the other things are aggravating it. in the super pacs are aggravating it because think their only job is to run negative campaigns printed at the primary voters in the party having less money today, and more because they took it away from them under and cleaning up dark money in effect they created the worse avenue money so i remember back in the late '80s and early 90s, our strategy was to look from the very beginning the campaign. nothing primary in the general election but where do we need to be to get 50 percent plus one vote in on the primary, but in the general election and now the question is not even come up until after the primaries open. >> we have open primaries here in california which is not true in every state and i'm sure you thousand

he but party aside to join donald trump because he believed donald trump was the best shot at making america will be again. everybody knows, historians have know if you're looking for reform, you need a radical and rfk is a radical. i worked with him in the environment the program and i was the d8 in westchester. he had a great program. i started an environmental crimes unit is a result of working with him and he said i was the only republican who worked with him i found shocking but true this, i'm so disgusted in 2025 we are so divided in america we can't have a reasonable conversation about being healthy and being fit. why all of a sudden is this guy subjected to all kinds of craziness? he went into the lions den and didn't care. he is willing to go in to take the attacks. i saw assault today by a guy, they talked over him and yelled and interrupted him and he's a problem with his voice so he couldn't really come back at them and they took advantage of that but the truth is, they were bought and paid for by lobb lobbyists, the pharmaceutical companies, you look at them, how much money does he get from the pharmaceutical companies? this is a guy going against the grain,

reforms. we didn't have glass-steagall act reinstated. you you mentioned your the telecommuting act and. and the of media mergers and takeovers. it's hard to organize people around eventually a corporate party will say that they stand with and just co-opt. it was something symbolic or, a catch phrase. so i'm wondering if we are physiologic dependent on these titans, how are we to demand them change without them just, you know, pulling a lever and tightening their grip? no, we're not we're not ideologically taught dominated. we can think ourselves. i meant physiologically, like like our means of sustenance, our food, like how can we how do you think localization plays a role in. it's really important. it's very, very important. and occupy scared hell out of them which why they quit covering it and and it was repressed occupy groups were infiltrated police departments all over the country and and you know, agent provocateurs. so yeah, it scared them and some sort of something that will emerge again and we have to be armed with the knowledge of where we need to go and what needs to happen and if it happened again within, any group of titans, there's liberals and there are certainly that would
