00:00Robert is a great new asset to reform, and yes, I do trust he believes in the principles, the values that we believe in, and he'll be a great addition.
00:09He brings what people have said we haven't got, which is ministerial experience, and of course there's a lot of political intrigue and banter.
00:16We all understand that. Politics is a challenging, rough old game.
00:20But in terms of what it shows people, and we've had a great reaction to it, is that actually reform is the opposition to the Labour Party.
00:28We're leading in some 200 national polls, and in a sense, it's interesting though, Labour now a third in almost all of the national polls, disappearing down a plug-up.
00:38Would you be happy to see him as a reform shadow chancellor, Nigel Farage's chancellor one day?
00:43Nigel's the boss. The great thing is, we've got a multitude of talent across a whole range of the main offices of states.
00:51Would you be happy to see him take on that role?
00:52We've got a great range of talent. The boss will make his decision about different roles at the appropriate time.
