00:10Tonight, we have gone through 220,000 paid up members.

00:21We are now without doubt double the size of the Conservative Party

00:27and catching the Labour Party up first.

00:30And by the end of this year, I want us in membership terms

00:34and much else to be the biggest party in this country.

00:39That's clear.

00:41When we win these county councils, we'll send in the auditors.

00:45We'll get rid of the fraudulent contracts.

00:47We'll cut spending.

00:49We'll do our utmost to fulfil all of our promises.

00:54And if we do those things, it will take us on to a general election

01:02which will come in 2028 or 2029,

01:05when we genuinely will try to make a piece of political history

01:09the likes of which has never been seen before.

01:12There are some who think that maybe I'm ridiculously ambitious,

01:16but I believe we can do this.

01:22Do you believe we can do this?

01:26Will you support this campaign,

01:29leaning up to May 1st to help us clear this first major hurdle?

01:34Will you support our local candidates?

01:37Will you go out and campaign, knock on doors, deliver leaflets?

01:42Will you stand up if you believe what we're trying to do,

01:45candidates particularly?

01:47These are our candidates.

01:49These are our people, all of you.

01:51We can do this.

01:53We are going to do this.

01:56We are going to make history,
