We're probably about five years behind you, but I remain, although you have a grave assessment of your visit to the UK, Charlie, I do remain optimistic.

no it's not bluster they are absolutely smashing it they are destroying it we had some elections uh three weeks ago so there's there's national elections a general election where people vote in members of parliament and indeed the prime minister so the winning party becomes the the governing body and then you get local elections as well so that's when people in their local vicinity vote for local councillors and councils local authorities they handle things such as uh

school funding, local rubbish, trash collections and so on and so on. Some more of the sort of nitty gritty stuff at those local elections. Three weeks ago now, reform absolutely smashed it. Hundreds of councillors, dozens of council control of councils. There was a by-election, which is basically it was an individual race for one MP constituency seat in the north of

West of England, Reform won that against the odds. It was a massive Labour stronghold. They won three morality races. So they've got three new mayors across Great Britain. So they destroyed it. And do you know what? Keir Starmer today, the Prime Minister, Reform, by the way, over the past six months or so, Labour and the government and Keir Starmer have been mocking Reform, saying...

saying that they could only fit their MPs in the back of a taxi, for example, because they're so insignificant. Today, Keir Starmer gave a massive speech at some industrial centre in the north of England. He talked for a little bit about the reason why he was there. And then he launched into some obsessive rants about Nigel Farage, about reform, so on and so on. So he's completely rattled.

And he's also changing. I call him a political chameleon. He's changing his rhetoric off the back of this surge from reform who are polling now at 31 percent. I think a new poll came out today. Labour down on 23 percent. The Tories, I mean, they're just long gone. They're forgotten. That's the price you pay for being fake conservatives. But yeah, the momentum is there.

It's three, four years to go until a general election. So there's a long way to go. But reform do have all the momentum. And it echoes, I'd say, of 2016 with Trump. I remember that race in 2016 with Hillary. And it was the working class. It was the Rust Belt, your end. This end, we call it the Red Wall. The Red Wall is traditional Labour voters, working class voters.

Labour used to be the party of the working man. Now they're the party of champagne socialists and big corporations. Funny that... But that's what reform are tapping into. If they can win that red wall, which they did at the local elections, I think maybe in three or four years, we'll see Prime Minister Farage.

Well, I had a question for you, first of all. I watched the full debate earlier and I mean, some of it I was absolutely howling off my chair. It was quite it was so ferocious. It was funny, not ferocious from you. You handled them expertly, but particularly the young lady in the US flag jumper, the last guy at the end of the Prince Harry lookalike who for some reason was bouncing up and down.

I wanted to know whether how these students compared to the students that you frequent in the US challenges.
