00:00People were saying up until about three four months ago they were saying we're
00:04not going to get any seats so to get 13 seats I think is a politically seismic
00:08event it puts reform UK firmly on the map it means that we are part of the
00:14political landscape for the long term and these are very important steps that
00:21we've taken and the agenda which we promote is one which is quite different
00:27to both the Conservative and Labour parties and so you know there will be a
00:32genuine different voice in Parliament and all of that is great and we can
00:37build from here yeah yeah I mean I did whatever I could possibly do it's
00:46difficult for an insurgent party it always is because as an insurgency you
00:51don't know where your voters are in the same way that an established party like
00:55Labour and Conservative who've been in the constituency election after election

01:47I'm gonna come third but but you know who knows
01:53Did you expect to have a chance to win the constituency?
01:55Well I mean you I'm only I only ever do anything in life if I think I'm gonna win it or at least I try to win it
02:01I think it's a natural human instinct
02:05It feels like a tide is changing as well it feels like Wellingborough is in a place of change as well
02:09It'll be interesting to see what the future holds. Is there any plans to run for the future in Wellingborough in the next five years?
02:15I've made friends and colleagues here and I know the landscape and I understand the local problems
02:21though as I mentioned when we spoke the local problems in Wellingborough and Rushton are no
02:26different to the local problems really nationwide you know there's a commonality between all
02:31constituencies born out of national issues but nevertheless it's nice to know precisely you know what's what
