And they're going to those places because they're angry about migration and how it looks like it's taken opportunity away from them. They're angry because they think the world is unfair, intergenerational unfairness. We need to give young people the sort of optimism that we had when we were younger. Remember what it was like being 25. It was great. How can we take that away from people?

And between COVID and high house prices and so on, there's so much that has created despair. And I remember having a conversation with Pierre Poliev about this. He's my kindred spirit, by the way. I love him. He's fantastic. And, you know, he is six months older than me. And we see these things in the same way. We have to give people hope.

And that is really, I think, maybe the difference between me and the other party leaders, that I'm thinking very much about the future and giving people hope, not just about today or yesterday.

Thank you, Barry. It's lovely to be here.

So it certainly shaped my character, but my family shaped my character a lot more. I was born into a relatively wealthy family and I was born in January 1980. This is just as the oil boom is taking off in the country in the 70s. Everybody's got lots of money and my family is doing well, partly because of that. And

No, no. But he was a doctor who had lots of oil company patients. And he worked for them to some extent as well. They would send their patients to him. So he didn't work for the companies, but he treated them and got paid very well. And my grandmother, who... grew up never learning how to read or write, was poor. She made a lot of money from trading.

So she was my initial inspiration, this woman who could never read or write, but she made so much money, she sent some of her children to the US to study, paid all the fees, not my dad, but others. And they're still here. I still have family here because of what she did back in the 60s.

But what really shaped me was watching the decline of the family wealth because of terrible economic policies that the country was having. And I tell people that it was socialism and they say, oh, it wasn't socialism. It was just a military dictatorship. And this is one of the things which I referenced in the speech that I gave in Washington a couple of days ago.
