the reform source told gb news stephen edgington looking back at their actions.y were attempting to provoke volunteers into making statements deemed not politically correct. the campaigners, who sacrificed their time to canvass for mr farage in clacton, were confused and didn't provide the sensationalist footage. the undercover operatives hoped for. well, these developments come after mr farage accused channel 4 of a stitch up after a volunteer was filmed using racist slurs against the prime minister well, i'm joined now by gb news us correspondent stephen edgington and stephen, i suppose this means that there are many people who were goaded to make comments, who didn't provide the goods. >> well, that's what reform sources have told us, that these two gentlemen, these two undercover plants or reporters, attempted to spark conversations about incredibly controversial things like tommy robinson, like george floyd, particularly around issues of race. and they didn't get the answers. one suspects that they hoped for other than in the case of andrew parker, of course

we're going to move on now to our gb news us correspondent stephen edgington.? hi, stephen. thank you. thanks for joining stephen? hi, stephen. thank you. thanks forjoining me. can i firstly gauge your initial reaction to the news? >> well, i think that many people aren't particularly surprised by this. and i don't think i was either after seeing that debate performance, i think that debate performance, i think that it was very difficult for biden to continue, running in this race. and we saw a series of leading democrat voices calling for joe to go of leading democrat voices calling forjoe to go behind the calling for joe to go behind the scenes. there were lots of reports in liberal media organisations in america that barack obama and others were urging biden to drop out. barack obama and others were urging biden to drop out . so urging biden to drop out. so i don't think that we're particularly surprised by this. maybe what is surprising is that biden has endorsed kamala so quickly. they seem to be some tension between those two, those two individuals. but i

stephen, how is this edgington. stephen, how is this news being received stateside?> i think that not many people are too shocked by this. the debate performance that biden had was so disastrous for him that people expected him to drop out fairly soon. and i think the democrats, they face a big issue now who do they replace biden with? as charlie said, obama hasn't endorsed kamala harris, but biden has. it seems that she has a significant advantage, heading into the convention next month. and interestingly enough, the democrats, they have pulled out their candidates before, just before, general elections. i think the last time it happened was in 1968 when lyndon johnson, dropped out and they were defeated in a landslide by richard nixon. so i think whatever happens this does not look good for the democratic party. they've really been thrown into chaos today. >> how do the trump campaign respond to this? because it is a curve ball, isn't it? >> i think, well, what trump has already said is that harris is a very weak candidate. and i think the republicans see kamala ha

up, suella braverman has sat down with our us correspondent , down with our us correspondent, stephen edgingtonel farage joining the conservative party, and she laid into rishi sunak over the issue of immigration. let's listen to this pretty explosive interview. >> if you were leader of the tory party, would you let nigel farage become a member? >> listen, my analysis of british politics is that there's only room for one centre right party. there's only room for one conservative party on the right of british politics. and at the moment we have two. and that's why reform poses an existential threat to us right now. and as long as reform continues to exist and the way it is, as long as it keeps taking away millions of voters who used to be part of our voting base, there is no chance that we are going to win elections. so there's very little i disagree with, when it comes to nigel farage. and, you know, i met thousands of people throughout this campaign and many, many people said to me, i'm a lifelong tory voter, but i'm a lifelong tory voter, but i'm going to vote reform they are feeling betrayed

the prosecutions of journalists in terms of the phone hacking about his comments that, that stephen edgingtonthe mail on sunday story. i was at the mail on sunday at the time in 2019 when that happened. those comments had to be then slapped down by the two then contenders, boris johnson and jeremy hunt, for the leadership. i remember massive outcry and i think that he's someone who makes ill judged public interventions and was never particularly. i think, regarded as one of the kind of candidates to succeed. chris dodi , which to succeed. chris dodi, which was one the reason why she stayed so long as head of the met. and i think basically it's an indictment of the kind of senior police leadership we've got where a lot of people now go off into private security firms. and actually we're left with kind of some of the less impressive candidates to lead forces like this across the country. all right. >> so here we go. put him in charge of this new border command. mark, you know, a bloke who thinks that rwanda was a terrible idea, slammed suella braverman, etc, you know, has just been quite, quite
