00:00She's wondering why people don't believe she'll actually do anything about them, but there you go.

00:06It's Demi, this is the 25th anniversary of the Tories' promise to reduce net migration to tens of thousands.

00:14...and see who the candidates actually are for the general election in our area.

00:21So we did that, and that's when...

00:23Okay, we'll see you later.

00:25And, yes, I was duly elected, and so that was a wonderful response.

00:43Another question, what would you call it?

00:45I'd like to applaud.

00:47We are the new kids on the block.

00:49We have no experience in this Parliament whatsoever,

00:52even though some of us have tried many times over the years previously to get here.

00:58So we can't judge you from working in this place,

01:01but we can judge you from the way the outside world sees you.

01:05Believe me, folks, this is just the first step of something that is going to stun all of you.

01:13Thank you very much.

01:14Nigel Farage is Reform UK ahead of the Tories for the first time.

01:19The party has rocketed up the polls since Nigel Farage announced that he was taking over as leader.

01:25We energise reform and seem to give them a poll boost.

01:29Hard work is the only way anybody succeeds individually.

01:33And hard work is the only way we're going to have a chance as a country to turn any of this around.

01:40You know, for a Labour Party, they couldn't define what a woman was,

01:44couldn't define what a working person was.

01:47Well, after the day, I'm pretty convinced they can't define what the common growth is.

01:52We believe that a society looks after its weak, but encourages everybody else to do the very best it can.

01:59We don't care about skin colour.

02:01We don't care about orientation.

02:03We care whether you share the values of this country.

02:07We care whether you obey the law.

02:10And we'll judge you on who you are.

02:12We'll judge you on who you are as a person.

02:15Is this what everybody wants?

02:17Is that what we're going to fight for?

02:22Are you going to be powerful?

02:27Thank you very, very much indeed.

02:52Thank you very much.

03:47A great evening, Springfield.

03:52I'm nine and a half months on, to be here in Staffordshire, where we have 62 vetted

04:02candidates standing in every single county council ward for us to have managed to put

04:09into the field more than...

04:11And I sat and thought about it, and three words came to my mind.

04:16Family, community, country, they're the things that I love, they're the things that I care

04:24about, they're the things that you care about.
