Matt Goodwin delivers one of his most explosive speeches yet: “I want my country back.” In a fiery conversation about immigration, identity, fairness, and the collapse of Britain’s old parties, Goodwin lays out why Reform UK is now topping national polls and why millions of voters are abandoning Labour and the Conservatives.
Goodwin argues that the political class “betrayed the country,” imposed mass immigration without consent, ignored working-class Britain, and allowed crime, unfairness, and economic decline to take hold. With Reform surging among workers, young voters, and traditional Labour heartlands, he declares: “No one is safe. Enough is enough.”
From the cost-of-living crisis to woke ideology, from broken borders to the implosion of the Tory Party, this is the clearest explanation yet of why Britain is experiencing the biggest political insurgency in a century. Goodwin says the movement is ready for government — and ready to rebuild the country from the ground up.
Watch the full discussion and hear why millions are joining what Goodwin calls “the people’s army.”

00:00Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Matt Gawain.
00:10Matt, really good to see you.
00:11Really good to see you.
00:12Now, you've obviously been keeping a close eye.
00:15I watch you on social media.
00:17You post a lot about the polls.
00:18What do the polls currently show?
00:20Well, the polls nationally show that this movement is now averaging about 31% of the national vote.
00:29And it is heading into number 10 Downing Street with an overwhelming majority.
00:34That is what the polls are saying.
00:37So I think this is the most significant political insurgency this country has seen since the rise of the Labour Party in the early 20th century.
00:51This is historic, what we're seeing.
00:53And remember those local elections.
00:55That was the first time in contemporary history that any party outside of the big two had really swept the board.
01:03So this is really history-making stuff.
01:05But of course, everyone's trying to write us off.
01:07So the Conservative Party, the Labour Party, oh, it's a flash in the pan.
01:10They won't get above 25%.
01:12Then we did.
01:13You won't get above 30%.
01:14Then we did.
01:15So the message to those other parties, to the big beasts, the big politicians, I think, is no one is safe.
01:24Well, I would agree with you.
01:26I remember in the 2010s people saying during the Brexit campaign, you know, Nigel Farage would never get over 15% of the vote.
01:34And here we are with a party that's on 31, 32, or according to some recent polls, as high as 34% of the vote.
01:42And remember, David, this is before we've got to the Labour budget.
01:46This is before we experience more economic hardship this winter.
01:50Because the sad fact about our country is food prices are going to go up.
01:56Energy prices are going to go up.
01:58The small boat numbers are going to go up.
02:01So my assumption here is the 31, 32% that we're seeing now, that's going to keep going up.
02:08I don't think Labour and the Conservatives have a viable response to reform.
02:13The Labour Party, according to YouGov, one of the most credible pollsters, just fell to its lowest level on record.
02:22You know, Keir Starmer and his party now are about as popular in this country as Meghan Markle.
02:31Well, Harry's back.
02:34Yeah, wow, that popular.
02:36There's something else really interesting going on, actually.
02:39If you look at social demographics, if you look at C2DE voters, those of lower socioeconomic standing,
02:46they are switching in their droves to us, which is not necessarily what you would have expected.
02:53Well, the alarm clock class, the people that have to get up in the morning, set the alarms, get up in the morning, go to work.
03:00Here's one stat about British politics that very few people know, and you've noticed it clearly.
03:0540% of all working class voters are currently planning to vote reform, which is twice as many who are planning to vote for Labour,
03:16which is more than twice as many who are planning to vote for the Tories.
03:20This is the most popular political party among British workers.
03:26It's extraordinary.
03:33There's something else going on as well.
03:35I talk about the fact that people see a lack of fairness in this country.
03:40It seems that if you arrive on a small boat, you're treated better than someone who sets their alarm, as you say, at 4 or 5 o'clock in the morning,
03:46that goes out, does two, three jobs, tries to put food on the table, for example.
03:50But another demographic change we are seeing, and this is what is thrown at me the whole time, saying,
03:55well, all your voters are old.
03:58They aren't.
03:59We welcome voters of any age.
04:01But the point is, actually, we're attracting a lot of young people, aren't we?
04:05Yeah, I don't think the description of reform voters that you just referenced is true.
04:10I was in Halifax last night with a group of 18-year-olds planning to vote reform,
04:15and they were saying a lot of their friends at school, early years of university,
04:20they just can't publicly come out and say it among their peer group yet.
04:24But as the previous speaker just said, they will increasingly say that.
04:28Just one thing about this notion of fairness.
04:30I'll tell you what has really struck me about this country right now,
04:34and about the Labour government, just briefly.
04:37This is a government in phase two.
04:41Was it two or three or four? I forget.
04:44I can't wait for phase three.
04:46This is a government in phase two that is using the British people's money,
04:52taxpayers' money, to bankroll private companies,
04:55to offer more favourable housing contracts to illegal migrants,
05:00to asylum seekers than they're offering to the British people.
05:04How the hell is that fair?
05:07It's not fair, it's not right, it's not just.
05:10We are the party, I would say, the form of the party that are going to stop that.
05:16So when you do your modelling, where is the vote coming from?
05:19Because I mentioned earlier on, when I go around the country,
05:23I am seeing something that I've never seen.
05:26I am getting working class people who tribally voted Labour coming to us.
05:30I'm seeing Conservatives, lifelong Conservatives,
05:34where their families for generations have voted Conservative.
05:38I'm seeing farmers who are so disillusioned by what the government has done.
05:42The fishermen.
05:43Keir Starmer giving away our fish for another 12 years.
05:45The whole point of Brexit was to take back control of our money laws and borders.
05:49We have done absolutely none of that.
05:52Absolutely.
05:53I agree.
05:53I agree.
05:54Absolutely.
05:56So, I think the answer to the question is,
05:59we're taking votes from lots of different places.
06:01Right now, about a third of the Conservative Party vote
06:04has simply moved over to reform.
06:07Now remember, that's on top of a lot of previous Conservative voters
06:11before 2024 who had already moved over to reform.
06:15Also eating into a massive chunk,
06:18about 55% of that Brexit vote is now standing behind the reform party.
06:24So, what is happening?
06:25Let's just be clear because it's really important.
06:27When Boris Johnson won that big majority in 2019,
06:31and he promised everybody,
06:32I will lower the overall numbers,
06:35I will reduce immigration,
06:37I will control the borders.
06:38I'm just going to be frank with everybody
06:39because I think everyone in this room knows this already,
06:43and many of the viewers may too.
06:45Boris Johnson and the Tories betrayed their voters,
06:49they lied to the country,
06:51and they set the stage for the disaster that we see around us today.
06:57I mean, put it just briefly, David,
06:59if you invited an architect into your house,
07:02and that architect destroyed your house,
07:05you would not invite that architect back.
07:07So, what's happening is reform are really reaching into that big realignment of politics
07:14that Brexit made possible,
07:15but they're really expanding it.
07:18And that's why I think we are going to see something truly historic,
07:21because it's not going to be necessarily,
07:25you know,
07:25Brighton and London that are going to be rallying around reform.
07:29Although, actually,
07:29I think we've got a good chance at the London Merrill election,
07:31but I'll come back and talk about that another time.
07:34I think it's going to be the small towns,
07:37the medium towns,
07:39the seaside communities,
07:41the fishing communities,
07:42the working class bastions,
07:44the Red Wall,
07:46Wales,
07:47parts of Scotland,
07:48they're all now going to send this big message to the establishment,
07:51the same message we can see flying off those lampposts outside,
07:55which is we've had enough.
07:57Enough is enough.
07:58We want change,
07:59and we want it right now.
08:00And, of course,
08:00we've got massive elections in Wales and Scotland.
08:02We're polling currently at 28% in Wales.
08:04We're polling at about 22% in Scotland.
08:07This is unprecedented territory, isn't it?
08:10Wales is going to be absolutely massive.
08:11What we're going to see next year is essentially the death of the Tory party as a national party.
08:17Reform are going to do incredibly well in all of those traditional Labour areas,
08:22the home of the Industrial Revolution across the Red Wall.
08:25I was also in Washington and Sunderland earlier this week.
08:28The energy in the northeast of England is through the roof.
08:31A lot of those seats are going to fall as well, I think.
08:34And so people have realised the Labour Party is no longer a party for Labour.
08:40It is no longer a party for workers.
08:42It is a party for virtue signalling, socially liberal, to be blunt, people who kind of hate who we are.
08:52They're embarrassed of who we are, and we're not.
09:00Starmer knows he's in trouble.
09:02Labour knows it's in trouble.
09:03And yet they're like ferrets in a sack.
09:05They're fighting.
09:06They have no idea what they're doing.
09:07Plucking policies out left, right and centre.
09:10One of the things they thought they would capitalise on is to reduce the voting age,
09:15because they think young people will vote for Labour.
09:19That is not proving to be true.
09:21I'm talking to 14-year-olds, 15-year-olds, 16-year-olds, who are very militant,
09:26who will, when they're old enough, vote reform.
09:29So I think there's going to be a very interesting battle among those young voters.
09:33My colleague, Sir John Curtis, who many people will know, you know, John's made the argument that giving 16-year-olds the vote,
09:40it's not going to have as big an effect as people think.
09:44It's not going to necessarily determine the outcome of the next election.
09:47But also, they're not necessarily going to vote the way people think.
09:50And what you're alluding to is correct.
09:52I think particularly young men, actually, I think there is a sense among young boys that they're in a society,
09:59in a culture now that doesn't just misunderstand them, but doesn't really value them.
10:05We saw this with the adolescence drama on Netflix, this sort of constant contempt,
10:10particularly of white working class boys in this society and in this country.
10:14And I think that will find its expression with those people moving over to reform.
10:19I think Jeremy Corbyn and, you know, Jez Bala, or whatever your favourite word is,
10:25I think that's going to cause a bit of a problem for the Labour Party too, among some younger voters.
10:29I was going to say with Corbyn and Sultana, I've said this before, fruit and nut.
10:34They are going to do something quite interesting, aren't they?
10:39Because actually, they're going to peel off tribely, very left-wing Labour voters.
10:43If they sort out your party or Jez Bala or whatever they call it, that could have a huge impact on Labour.
10:50And it could also, by the way, really help reform.
10:54The more of this infighting on the left, the more that Jeremy Corbyn goes to war with Keir Starmer or Lucy Powell or Andy Burnham or whoever.
11:03By the way, just as an aside, I don't think Andy Burnham could necessarily win a by-election and find himself in Parliament.
11:09I think we're going to win that seat if it comes up, by the way.
11:13Just as an aside.
11:16Yeah, yeah, yeah.
11:17I mean, so I mentioned earlier on that they're all on manoeuvres.
11:21There's no doubt Andy Burnham is on manoeuvres and, of course, he needs a parliamentary seat.
11:24So he's looking at this kind of area.
11:27Gorton and Denton is one that keeps coming up.
11:29We've heard that possibly the incumbent Member of Parliament may try and stand down for grounds of ill health.
11:34Burnham thinks that's a shoo-in.
11:36I looked at the polls.
11:37It is not a shoo-in by any means.
11:40No, no, not at all.
11:41It's a bit like Runcorn, you know, where Labour came in very confident.
11:44They said this is one of our safest seats.
11:46Reform ended up with Sarah Pochin blowing them away because we're seeing things we haven't seen before in British history.
11:54There is a mood out there in the country.
11:56I know you know it.
11:57You've been out there.
11:58You've been touring.
11:58There is a mood out there which is essentially, look, we want to save our country.
12:04We want to take our country back.
12:06And we are no longer remotely interested in the uniparty, in the two parties who have presided over the last 30 years,
12:15who have essentially almost destroyed our home.
12:18Remember, that's what Roger Scruton said, the English philosopher.
12:21A nation isn't just a set of documents.
12:23A nation isn't just what you see on your passport.
12:26A nation is your home.
12:27And many people out there are sick and tired of seeing their home being destroyed.
12:33I would agree totally.
12:40We mentioned the economy.
12:42We mentioned immigration.
12:44If you were to put them in order, I will ask you the same question I asked Dan.
12:48What are the three big issues?
12:49Is immigration going to be the big issue at the next election?
12:53Keir Starmer says the one-in-one-out deal, which even on paper is a rubbish deal, it's failed for the third day in a row.
13:01They've got planes standing by with no one on them.
13:04Yeah, absolutely.
13:05I think it's 180,000 in and zero out so far.
13:09I think immigration is front and centre to why people are voting reform.
13:13But let's also remember, this is also about people who are dealing with the biggest cost of living crisis in, well, since the Second World War.
13:23This is about young people grappling with a housing crisis on a scale we've not had before.
13:29And this is also about crime.
13:32This is about people looking out at their communities.
13:34You know, you will have read about the criminality in this area today, another really shocking incident involving a guy on the run with a weapon around a local school.
13:45People are sick of this.
13:46They want the rule of law to be respected.
13:49They want criminals to be punished.
13:50They want them to stay in prison when they're actually given sentences.
13:54And they want the borders to be controlled.
13:57And they want that sense of fairness that you alluded to earlier on, that sense of fair play that has long defined these islands.
14:04That has to be upheld.
14:05Otherwise, the social contract will end up collapsing.
14:09So we need to, I think, get back to basics.
14:11And that's what's going to drive this movement, I think, into that higher territory.
14:16I mentioned, and very quickly and finally, I mentioned they are trying to caricature us, me, Richard, Nigel, the rest of us in the party,
14:24as sort of almost insane mavericks who are working against each other.
14:30That couldn't be further from the truth.
14:32But just in terms of now we are seeing defections.
14:36I have repeatedly said, as has Nigel, as has Richard, we don't want failed Tories.
14:41We want the best people to stand for this party.
14:45Now, Danny Kruger coming across is very significant for lots of reasons, because he will help us prepare for government.
14:59The Tories I have spoken to are absolutely shocked.
15:03They're devastated and flabbergasted that he has come over.
15:06And the press don't know what to make of it.
15:09Well, Danny Kruger is a very, very significant defection.
15:12I've known him for several years.
15:14If you don't know who he is, I would urge you to go onto YouTube and watch his speech about the Christian foundations of our country.
15:21Another thing people don't know about Danny Kruger is he has been especially focused on opposing woke ideology,
15:29on opposing this new religion among the ruling class that would have us believe that little boys can become little girls and little girls can become little boys.
15:37Danny has been outspoken on all of these issues.
15:40And I think, you know, this movement is going to become incredibly powerful so long as it doesn't become a Tory tribute act.
15:49Right. That's the critical point.
15:50So take the best of the best.
15:52Leave the rest.
15:53Right. We don't want the architects of the last 30 years.
15:56We want the people who have a strong track record of saying, look, we oppose mass immigration.
16:01We oppose woke ideology.
16:03We want strong borders.
16:05We want to put the British people first.
16:07That's what this is about, putting the hardworking, taxpaying, law-abiding British majority first.
16:14That's what we need to get back to, those core principles.
16:17I think Danny ticks all of the boxes.
16:19I know Nigel is keenly aware of that issue and that strategic calculation that has to be made.
16:25So, and, you know, David, just to say the fact we're even talking about preparing for government,
16:30the fact that I went to Birmingham at the conference and what people were saying is, well, look, you know,
16:34what are we going to do first, constitutional changes with the House of Lords or leave the ECHR?
16:39And this party is only a few years old, but such is the momentum and such is the strength that it has
16:47that we can now actually have a conversation about, okay, what do we want to change in this country
16:51and what does that look like?
16:52So I'm incredibly bullish about the direction of travel.
16:56Fantastic.
16:56Ladies and gentlemen, Matt Goodwin.
