So we're here at the Reform Party Conference.
Let's get a live reaction to that speech from a totally impartial character who appears to be eating while we try to speak to him.
It's Andy Wigmore.
The most important question, Andy, is where are we getting a pint?
Come on.

So on the way out of Nigel Farage's speech, I met Alex, who is a viewer of The War Room from here in the United Kingdom, from Wales, in fact.
Alex, thank you for being here.
Your thoughts on the conference so far and the leader's speech?
Well, I'm here in New York now, and for those of you who are watching, or sorry, listening to this, I should say,
via a podcast, you really will want to get the visuals, because I was in New York earlier this year as well, and like I've done for the past five years now, I ran the Tunnel to Towers 5K, and that starts in Brooklyn, and it goes under the bridge, into Manhattan,
and you emerge up at the World Trade Center, what was the World Trade Center now, the Freedom Tower, and every year I do that and raise money for, originally it was the victims of 9-11 families, and now Tunnel to Towers as an organization has expanded their remit, and now they raise money for military families, especially those
of which have had limbs blown off and require special kinds of disability housing.
They've even built a veteran's village.
And I can think of no better thing to spend some time on every year
Then running that race, bringing attention to it, helping Tunnel to Towers, the charity.
And this year I did it right after Charlie Cook's assassination.
I did it wearing the Charlie Cook Freedom T-shirt.
So I wanted to bring you some of my highlights from that day.
I'm not in the best shape that I've been in my life.
