What's really surprised me is that I was so anti Farage around Brexit time; now I'm thinking about joining Reform. I keep asking myself if I've turned into a bitter old bastard, but I don't think so. But then I would say that, wouldn't I? 😂
Yes, and the puke we will be expelling are personified by those in the Labour Party and Conservative Party. It is wonderful that we have found some common ground at long last!
@@Globaldave1970 Well, as Reform's leadership structure is modelled off the WPK and their 50,000 members are smitten with Farage, I reckon those millions hop into the party and stage a coup.
This was unexpected, but very welcome. As a longterm subscriber to the magazine I want to see the continued variety and challenging of the consensus continue under the new owners. This is an encouraging start.
You can also admire and loathe it; he does it well, which makes things worse. People will vote for a 'jolly sound bloke' before policy or political forecast/future, which is understandable but historically iffyAF.
Thank you for putting on such a great event, and a very relaxed but insightful interview. Nigel really is larger than life in person. Didn't vote Reform at the general election but he certainly won me over for sure.
A most enjoyable 47 minutes of sheer listening pleasure. Serious topics discussed in a lighthearted manner and so good to see Freddy of whom I am a great fan. Wish I had been there. Well done all.
@@michaelgibson7466 I should have been more clear, we do not have a democracy in the United Kingdom. We live under a constitutional democracy where the parliament and Royal family agree what is right for the country. We also have a first past the post system, which I am sure you have seen is completely un democratic.
Gove was in cabinet when we voted Conservative 3 times on manifesto promises to reduce migration. Subsequently and deliberately, millions of Immigrants were allowed in directly against our democratic wishes. Why would you want him as editor? You want integrity.
@@RichardEnglander DEEPLY worrying. Gove really is despicable. He even betrayed his wife and family. I suspect Gove "came out" due to COMPRAMAT. If so, then hardly a 'reach' to work out where from? A certain 'forum'?
This. Has me assuming the Spectator will be stuffed with the likes of that awful vocal fry American woman they have on there, who is clearly a leftist trying to appear so centre that she can even tolerate right-wing opinions among friends.
Yes. I thought that. But, even if he was, he was still more coherent and certainly more straight and true than most politicians are. May explain why Freddie looked so anxious and on the edge of his seat!
Yes - I don't trust Farage's politics and I voted Remain, yet I don't Remoan or want Rejoin now, but I had usually grudgingly liked Farage, although his loutish gutter side was on show here and turns me against him.
And you prefer "sir" Keir? Wouldnt be surprised if that drink was a set up to cause a stir. Came on stage pretty quick, "oven ready"😂. Cant do right for doing wrong. He is a very clever, knowleable time served politian, who can out talk most, and can hold his own. Anyone else as consistent? Thats a HUGE point. He has had too much crap for too many years. Respect to your views of course.😊 Swings and roundabouts. 🤔
Bet there is a ton of people out there who never thought Farage would become so respectable. Pity it's at the expense of working class patriots though.
Nigel is correct. I have voted Conservative for 40 years and I will never do so again. It is immaterial to me who their new leader will be they have both talked about what they are going to do but never put these policies in place when they had the opportunity. So never again.
Love him, or hate him, whatever you say about Nige, at least he is a human being - a lively, highly intelligent and stimulating one. A human being I could happily share an evening with. I can't think of any other British politicians I want to do that with right now.

You’ve got to love the audience reaction to allegations around certain groups in the UK and postal voting. They'd rather be offended than acknowledge the truth of the situation (which is well documented).
Utterly brilliant real robust a sense of humour and a real sense of purpose . The more we move towards people with real life experience and not professional politicians the more hope we have
I like both Trump (with reservations) and Farage (an agent of change probably more important than Thatcher), however the Ambassador is a representative of the UK Labour government, and I simply do not think Nigel will ever be that, so lets put that out of the conversation.
Freddy’s expressions! 👀😍 Super cute! They both looked like they were having a great time and it was hilarious! That’s exactly what I’ve been saying about Trump’s first term and his next: He was not prepared and NOW he has a team and they will get things done!
i left UK, i was an ardent socialist, i changed from the left due to the Pakistani child grooming (rape) gangs and the labour coverup of it. (read Maggie Olivers book). Any party which puts ideology ahead of children's innocence should be voted out, and anyone who votes for them, needs to fundamentally question their ethics and morality.
You can see him on the world stage, and speaking to world leaders like it is natural to him, definitely a world leader, is it! Looks it! And has the brain for it! Love him or hate him, he is OUR WAY FORWARD TO MAKE BRITON GREAT AGAIN.!!!!!!!!
I think it's a long way out, but we will have to see. Vance is saying the right things, but ultimately he was picked because he's not Mike Pence. He might make a name of himself over the next 4 years if they win, but like Nigel said, Trump has 3000 people lined up to run the country, so it's not as if it's slim pickings to choose a successor.
Donald at McDonalds, just the best look. Despite what you might think he has no ego. You cannot hang out of a drive thru window and not be relatable to everyone. Nov 5th 2024 will be Trump's Day
I am not a fan of Farage and disagree with him on a lot of issues. but I think it's a good idea. I think Farage as the U.S ambassador will make a good bipartisan impression
I am not so sure... This was entertaining to a degree. Nigel seems to have taken his foot off the domestic politics pedal, since he finally got elected. Back peddling on deportations and boastful about celebrity phone numbers. What about the people of Clacton, the platform that got him here. There is a lot of criticism of Starmer for being overseas too much. Nigel needs to get the balance right or it will all come tumbling down for him, as a local MP and therefore leader, at the next election.
Yo Nigel Its disappointing that you haven’t called for a public enquiry into the “ suicide” of Peter Lynch in a British jail This man was a political prisoner and died under very mysterious circumstances WHERE IS YOUR VOICE
The subject of parents was only briefly touched upon, with Mr Farage saying that issues with American youth (drugs, addiction, crime and homelessness) are far worse in the US than they are in England. But neither Kamala Harris or Donald Trump have spent much time addressing these issues, with Harris fully supporting cannabis legalization and Trump just shrugging his shoulders and leaving it up to the states. I don't think either candidate really understands the devastation that cannabis has caused on youth, as it is now so strong in THC, the psychoactive chemical, that it causes psychosis, and with prolonged use, schizophrenia (please see the study by Danish researchers published in 2023). Research also finds that most current addicts who are homeless started their Meth, Fentanyl or Heroin habits with cannabis when they were teenagers. American, or legal resident parents like myself feel that our children have been "stolen" from us when they are technically adult, but still biologically vulnerable, but little media coverage is given to these parents, probably because the media themselves are composed of single, gay or childless reporters. If Trump wants the vote of parents, why doesn't he come out and say that he has read the research, understands the problem and will do something to turn it around?
legalising cannabis would make it much easier to regulate it - i was sympathetic to your argument until you went on a weird tangent making wild claims with no evidence about the family lives of journalists that just sounded like a conspiracy theory
@@rolinti9146 I'm sure people can check the facts - for example, the Danish study is published in Scientific American, and distinguish them from my TH-cam banter before forming their own conclusions. As for regulation, I agree that legalizing cannabis might have some benefit in that it would make it easier for users or families to sue dispensaries if their products had harmful effects. The so called dispensary doctors at these dispensaries who "prescribe" Medical Marijuana to under 21 yr olds could also be sued for Medical Malpractice, just like regular doctors are held responsible for any patient harm.
That was excellent. I thoroughly enjoyed that.

Lets go Reform.
Ah real people with real beliefs - it really does stand out
Looking forward to Nigel making Britain great again. Roll on November 5th!

Very entertaining...'so good.'
Great interview, so glad I caught it. Definitely be voting Reform again when the time comes.
Nigel is the balance the UK political system needs, and needed for the next election and beyond. Him going to the US would be a waste!
Not really, he can do more as ambassador to the US than as MP for Clacton
It might be the best thing that could ever happen to reform
