Nigel Farage

Dozens shouted their support.

Good man, thank you.

Then, picking up speed, the tank headed directly for Tower Bridge.

Did they get permission to do this over Tower Bridge?

What, we're doing it?

No, whatever.

On the bridge, phones came out and traffic stopped.

Then Derek Chisora did something very unwise.

He climbed out of the hatch and onto the tank, his arms spread wide, waving the Union Jack.

It was an iconic moment, two men on a mission, two different types of fighter, but both as authentic as they are unorthodox.

When the tank finally reached York Hall in East London, Nigel and Derek climbed down to greet their fans.

Nigel says he's been on a few tanks in the past.

Were you surprised to see him?

He is a f***ing tank.

What, Nigel or Derek?

So that was a surreal day in the life of Reform UK.

One moment you're at a sunny garden party talking about protecting pensioners who've worked all their lives.

The next in a tank rolling across Tower Bridge with a heavyweight boxer, stopping traffic and drawing open-mouthed stares.

It's the kind of contrast that seems to define Reform UK right now.

Serious policy with unforgettable spectacle.
