00:00We said that when we hit 100,000 members, the lucky winner would go out for a pint with Lee Anderson.
00:11Now, I fear that was deeply inaccurate.
00:15The use of the singular strikes me as being very unlikely with Lee.
00:20And by sheer coincidence, the 100,000th member happens to be a former Conservative Member of Parliament.
00:28Who'd believe that? Isn't that extraordinary that it should have worked out that way?
00:33Her name is Dame Andrea Jenkins.
00:37And not only is Andrea joining the party, but after an internal selection process,
00:44she has now been selected as our candidate.
00:48And she will run to be the newly created Mayor of Lincolnshire on May 1st next year.
00:55And I believe she has every chance of winning.
00:58Today, I've joined the party of the brave.
01:02Our once great country is at a crisis point.
01:07Labour's record speaks volumes already, you must agree.
01:12They have compromised our British territories, fleeced our farmers, and they're punishing our pensioners.
01:18Their policies are anti-business, anti-aspiration, and detrimental to all that we hold dear as a country.
01:27In the past five months, as we've seen, our British people have been locked up for expressing their opinions,
01:36while real criminals are being released early onto our streets.
01:41This is not the Britain that we deserve.
01:44But in times of crisis, we need strong leadership.
01:48We need those patriotic, brave hearts to be a true voice for the people.
01:54And reform is that voice.
