00:00We've just heard from Nigel Farage who spoke loud and clear to his members and made it
00:06very obvious that Reform UK is preparing for government. He made it clear that he truly
00:10believes he can be the next Prime Minister. He announced an overhaul of the party structure
00:14making it much more democratic as well as hundreds of new reform associations across
00:17the UK. He said the party needs to mimic the Lib Dems in how they win seats but go even
00:22further than that suggesting that he will have the keys to Downing Street in five years
00:25time. When it came to policy he didn't touch on migration nearly as much as we thought
00:29he might but instead he tried to distance himself from the idea that Reform UK is a
00:33racist party instead saying they just want people to share British values. Candidates
00:37are going to be vetted much more thoroughly. They obviously had some serious issues at
00:40the last election when it came to candidates posting inappropriate content, offensive content
00:44on social media. So Farage has made it very clear they're going to have a much more professional
00:47set-up at the next election but all of it comes back to Reform's vision of entering
00:51Downing Street at the next election.
