00:00the reality is that we've got all the momentum, we've got all the growth. I mean it's wonderful,
00:05people are giving membership of reformers Christmas presents, there's New Year presents,
00:09we're hearing some wonderful stories and I think there's no momentum, there's no enthusiasm,
00:15there's no excitement about the party that she's leading potentially towards oblivion and that's
00:20why she's sort of just made a silly unforced error and you know what, we all make mistakes,
00:29when you do just admit it, apologize and try and learn from it and the great thing about these
00:35nearly 150,000 members approaching that number I think is that you know many of those will be
00:40volunteers, will be activists, will be enthusiasts out there at local level delivering leaflets,
00:46knocking on doors, manning street stalls, the enthusiasm, the surge in membership, you know
00:52its success is breeding success and I think also it's a reflection that as people look back on
01:002024 they realize that deep socialism from this Labour government is a catastrophe, the economy
01:08is going backwards fast, 10-year guilt rates are soaring and people are saying something's got to
01:15change, Labour can't do it, the Tories put us on this road to ruin, per person we're all getting
01:20a lot poorer very quickly and people realize the country needs change, the country needs reform.
