00:00Second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth,
00:05happy, joyous, are you going to have a drink later, Nigel?
00:08Am I ever going to have a drink?
00:15Hello, how are you?
00:17I see you dressed down again.
00:22You never let me down.
00:23No, I will let you down.
00:25How are you, how are we team?
00:27Fantastic.
00:30Do you know, I set this up the way I did because I was aware
00:34that, you know, nascent political parties are vulnerable to being
00:37hijacked by all sorts of maligned outside forces.
00:40So I kept 60% of the ownership of it
00:42to make sure that could never happen.
00:44Today is really all about the party coming of age and me letting go.
00:47I spent 20 years being told,
00:49Nigel, you're wasting your time, we'll never leave the European Union.
00:52Well, we did.
00:53So, look, we are going all out to do everything we can
00:57in the next five years to win the next election.
00:59That may sound unrealistic to you,
01:01but I just think we're at a moment in time in politics
01:04where levels of disenchantment with the two main parties have never been higher.
