00:00Matt, what do you make of that? Even though it might have the rhetoric, it might have
00:05the ideology, maybe it even has some of the public support, does it just not have the
00:09expertise to be an effective opposition and an effective government?
00:13Well, I think as we saw this week with Keir Starmer sprinting up to northern England to
00:18give a speech which exclusively attacked Nigel Farage in reform and mentioned Nigel Farage
00:23no less than 16 times, it's not just the Conservatives that are panicking. The Labour
00:28government is clearly aware of what is going to happen in industrial heartlands across
00:33northern England and Wales. As I've been writing for some time, on current polling numbers,
00:39Labour will lose more seats to Nigel Farage in Labour areas than they lost to Boris Johnson
00:44in 2019. Now, the reason for that, to come back to your question, and where I would perhaps go
00:50further than John, is saying this isn't just about voters rejecting the Tories. This is about voters
00:56rejecting the political consensus that has governed this country for the last 30 years,
01:01that it's been pushed on by both the left and the right, which began with Tony Blair,
01:05ran through Gordon Brown, David Cameron's coalition government, through to Boris Johnson,
01:10and now Keir Starmer. It is a consensus that is united around large-scale mass migration,
01:17a London-centric economy that is not willing to leave international conventions to control our borders,
01:23and which is basically obsessed with endless amounts of social and economic liberalism,
01:28which only about 10 to 15 percent of the country supports.
