Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
We are not finished with the stupid ideas on this show.
I got another thirteen minutes to go into Brady UK
correspondence with us.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
Hello Ininda, talking of which here I am. How are
you Heather?

Speaker 1 (00:11):
You are the furthest thing from a stupid idea? Inda,
Now talk to me about Nigel Faraj speaking of what
are we expecting from his migration plans?

Speaker 2 (00:20):
So he says Labor's plan was done on the back
of a fag packet, to use his words, and he
says he will today in the next couple of hours
set out a comprehensive plan for mass deportation of migrants
and people who are not meant to be in the UK,
people who are not legally allowed to be in the UK.
And he's hugely critical of Caer Starmer and his government.

(00:43):
And it's costing an awful lot of money putting people
up in hotels and b and b accommodation sixteen million
dollars a day to the UK taxpayer. Now, the dog
days of August are normally when you won't see a
politician in Westminster. For love nor money, nothing will drag
them back to the office. And it's quite telling that
Farage is coming out today while everyone else is away.

(01:06):
He clearly sees it as a political opportunity for him.
People have had enough. I mean I've just driven back
from Ireland all the way through Wales as soon as
we got into English motorways yesterday. I've only been away
ten days. Huge number of England flags, cross of Saint
George everywhere. There's been a big upsurge in the last
two weeks. Really, people are feeling very patriotic and I

(01:30):
think a lot of people are listening to Farage with
him saying let's sort this out.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
So he does play things quite well. Does this mean
What do you think that this means for how they're
going to do in central government elections? Potentially?

Speaker 2 (01:44):
I think Reform will do really well. They're currently polling
twenty five twenty six percent. Hayber Well, They've got to
hold it for four years if he wants to become
Prime minister. That's the challenge. He's only got three other MPs.
Reform is a party of four politicians. But he's not
stupid and he knows that there is an appetite for change.

(02:04):
People have had enough of Starma already. It's a fascinating time.
But look if he wants to fulfill everything he's trying
to do, he will have to take the UK out
of the European Court of Human Rights on day one.

Speaker 1 (02:17):
Does Reeves get rolled?

Speaker 2 (02:21):
This is interesting. Look, she's definitely got this budget coming
in autumn, and I think if we don't start seeing
some growth, but like you just think they just keep
saying growth or we're waiting for growth. The key to
Britain not having growth is directly linked to leaving the
European Union and breaks it and join the dots up.

(02:41):
If you know, we're in a very strange trading time
globally now with Trump and tariffs and everything else, and
the UK is weaker because of breaksit.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
Yeah, I just wonder if I mean, the reason I
asked you that question is I wonder if Reeves does
if Stamach can hold Reeves, and if Reeves gets rolled,
isn't that such an obvious sign that everything's imploding. It
makes you wonder whether Nigel Farage will really have to
hold these numbers four four years or whether they go
to the park.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
I think I think if Reeves gets rolled, Starmer will
ultimately have to go as well, because the two were
inextricably linked because he has back to her. And you
remember the other week when she cried in parliament and
it all looked very awkward. I think the two of
them are in it together now. But there is no
growth here. We have nine point two million adults not

(03:28):
working and not in education or training. Nine point two
million doing nothing.

Speaker 1 (03:33):
Yeah, and there's deffinitely demands for change. Hey, thank you
very much, Inda, I really appreciate it. In The Brady
UK Correspondent.
