00:00Good morning everybody.

00:07Nigel, come to the middle please.

00:14Nigel, just one step to the middle.

00:21Just one step to the middle.

00:28Brilliant, thank you.

00:32Up the back a little bit.

00:40Straight ahead Jeff.

00:44Nick Canning, how much money can you raise for parking?

00:47Most ever done in the UK.

00:49Millions?

00:51Tens of millions.

00:53That's your parking.

00:55Are you giving any of your own cash?

00:57Yes.

00:58How much?

00:59Let's have him pick a number.

01:02Turn this way boss please.

01:05Excellent.

01:09You can't fight big national campaigns without the money,

01:13and this guy's got a great track record of raising money

01:15for all sorts of different projects, in business, in politics.

01:18We've got the right guy.

01:19How much money are you going to give Mr Kennedy,

01:21and when are you going to give it to him?

01:22I'll give a seven figure number.

01:24Can you give us a precise figure on when you're going to detonate it?

01:27Not yet, but in early 2025 when I take over as President,

01:31I will give that money.

01:32And what does this reflect?

01:33Disappointed with the money that you've spent on the Conservatives?

01:35Why have you taken this decision?

01:37I've got friends still in the Conservative Party and the Labour Party.

01:40I love Boris Johnson, he's a dear friend.

01:42I went to his wedding and to his 60th birthday.

01:45I think he was treated very badly.

01:47But I think this country needs change,

01:49and I believe the person to make that change is Nigel Farage.

01:52And I believe he'll be the next Prime Minister of this country.

01:54You do believe that?

01:55Because Farage is number 10 by 2029.

01:57I wouldn't be doing this if I didn't 100% believe

02:00that he was going to be the next Prime Minister.

02:02No, we haven't sold a single peerage yet, have we?

02:04Extraordinary.

02:06No, look, I mean, what's wrong with successful people

02:09who've got time on their hands to get involved

02:12and help us raise money?

02:14Nothing in life raises money like that.

02:16We know Elon Musk wants to give you millions.

02:18Are you looking away to try and get that money into your coffers?

02:21We don't know anything about Elon Musk

02:23other than he's supportive of our position.

02:25If he offered you loads of money, would you try and take it?

02:27Well, if people offer us money legally, we will take it.

02:30Goodness me, if you look at what we've achieved,

02:32look at what reform's achieved,

02:34with very, very little money,

02:36and a handful of people,

02:37and you look at the vast tens of millions

02:39that have been raised by the two big parties

02:41over the course of the last 18 months,

02:43what we're trying to do is to get onto an even financial footing

02:46with them, and it's not going to end well.

02:48If we do that, if we do that,

02:50we will achieve extraordinary things.

02:52Can I go?

02:53Yeah, fine.

02:54Thank you, Jack.

02:58Well, there you have it.

02:59A six-, no, seven-figure sum.
