Chris Harborne

Bye.

In early 2019, Chris Harbourne is on the scene and he gives 200 grand.

So the equivalent of all that money he's given to the Conservative Party over 20 years, whack, in one go.

In it goes to Farage.

Now, 200 grand may not be that huge to start with, but along with a couple of other donors, actually, that is a fair old whack.

And it gives the party credibility and it helps them campaign in those European elections.

This is May 2019.

Yeah, and they did rather well, didn't they?

They win it.

They are 32% of the vote.

And miles ahead of the Tories, loads of seats in the European Parliament, where they're a kind of wrecking force.

And it's basically what does for Theresa May.

So she hasn't been able to get a Brexit deal done.

The Brexit party is terrifying the Tories because they've done so well in these European elections.

May resigns.

And we're heading towards Boris.

Now Boris calls his election, right, that snap election, like get Brexit done election.

And remember, this is the time, if you can remember this, where both Leavers and Remainers still thought they could kind of win the day.

You know, there was campaigns for a second referendum.

We hadn't left the EU.
