00:00There's a very real danger of Nigel Farage running away with this election because of
00:10the deliberate vacuity—I'm not accusing either Sunak or Starmer of being stupid—the
00:17deliberate and contrived vacuity, emptiness, of their leadership and their programs.
00:27People—I mean, it's not for nothing that my phrase, that they, Labour and Tory, are
00:35two cheeks of the same backside, has become the most famous thing I've ever said in
00:42all my life.
00:44I have never seen an election in which two people who less deserve to be the prime minister
00:53of Britain are competing for that office.
00:57And that's reflected in the polls.
00:59In the latest polling, the number of people, percentage of people, who will be voting Labour
01:06or Conservative is going to be the lowest since the Second World War.
01:12When Sunak called the election, there were 181 Tory candidates short, showing the level
01:20of disarray at the top of the Tory party.
01:24In fact, when they got rid of Boris Johnson, which many of them, I think, now regret, it's
01:30been downhill all the way.
01:33And no one who saw the Liz Truss interregnum, worsted by Rishi Sunak, could possibly dispute
01:43that.
01:44My target, as all of you know, principally is Labour, because we are the spirit of Labour's
01:53past, or rather, what Labour was supposed to be.
01:57I realise that the danger of Farage running away with this election are very real indeed.
02:06The first reason is that the others have nothing to say.
02:09Farage has something to say.
02:13What he's saying is wrong.
02:16What he's saying will not solve our problems and will deepen many of our pre-existing policies.
02:23But he is saying something, and he's saying it with zeal, he's saying it with a spring
02:31in his step, and he's speaking it in human.
