Excellent interview, Nick. I will definitely vote Reform but we have been let down by politicians so many times it’s difficult to trust anything any of them say! I was rather disconcerted by Richard’s views on the “vaccines” (not part of this interview) but I guess you can’t have everything!

Are you doing a podcast every week now?

I thought Richard came across well.

Spoke clearly about the issues facing us all, and gave very encouraging insight into how Reform wants to tackle them.

The public sector is MILES too big, too powerful, and is dominated by ideologues.

If it means outsourcing the civil service to bypass the Mandarins, then get on with it.

If that entails "breaking eggs" (industrial action and the like), then so be it.

The private sector (that actually generates the money to fund the public sector) certainly needs stimulus (20K personal tax threshold is a brilliant idea). If it encourages UK folk off benefits, no Singapore on Thames is needed.

We should only import labour when we are at or near full employment. It is ridiculous to do so when

1 in 8 of the current working age population are on benefits.

No tax breaks for billionaires, so it should prove popular with the working class.

He was also forthright about stopping the boats, but is realistic enough to mention the challenges. Again, "breaking eggs" will be necessary, be they legal, be they Care4C. Go for it.

We need the UK to be aspirational once more, to protect our culture and traditions, and consign all the woke rubbish to the bin.

We pay far too much heed to the basket-case USA, where so much of that woke crap comes from. It's a different country with different values. The "special relationship" is about as real as Hogwarts.

I never thought I'd see the day when high profile mainstream politicians would fudge their answer when asked "what is a woman?" for fear of a backlash.

In my view, the current political model is broken beyond repair, and we need change.

I shall be voting for that with Reform.
