They've completely sold this country down the river. In fact, one minor example that I think will give international viewers a real sense of what I would argue is a betrayal. It was the Conservative Party under Boris Johnson when it was in office that even removed a requirement for companies in Britain to advertise jobs in Britain before they advertise them overseas.

They didn't even prioritize British workers within this national economy. They just completely opened the floodgates. And the end result is what you see around us today, which is zero growth,

Massive amounts of debt, no productivity, declining GDP per capita, while we're also pursuing this net zero madness, closing steel factories across northern England, in order to deal with this political vanity project for an elite class that doesn't apparently seem to care about anybody else in this country. So I'm deeply worried about the direction of travel.

But the Tory party is not going to change anything. the direction of travel. If an architect demolished your house, you wouldn't invite the architect back to do it again, would you? And I think in the same way, it was the Tories that really demolished Britain. So why on earth would you invite them back to have another go? I think we need wholesale political change.

Well, I think the answer to the first question is I would describe myself as, I mean, it sounds very vague, but as somebody who simply cares a great deal about his country and somebody who is, in very broad terms, on the side of the forgotten majority of people who share small c conservative values, particularly on cultural and identity issues, who want to reform the economy so it works for ordinary people, but feel that they're no longer really in the conversation.

And I... I don't feel as though my politics have changed over the last 20 years. What I think has happened is that we have been living through, over the last 10 years, the greatest radicalization of the elite class in Western societies since the 1960s. And I've seen this, not just in terms of the universities, but actually in Westminster.
