 Good evening everyone. I hope you're all doing well. You're very welcome. Thank you for joining on me on our post-election live stream. What an election that was. A lot to talk about on that one. I do hope everything is technically working at the moment. Let me just double-check. Do send me in some questions. But the first thing I want to say about the elections is to thank everyone who stood, everyone who supported everyone who stood, and everyone who voted for us. And everything that I said prior to the elections about you being heroes, for standing up, being the bravest party in the country, all still entirely 100% stands. You are all heroes. And I want to thank you sincerely for putting yourself up there, putting yourself through it, to be honest. And you know, there will be naysayers, there will be people on Twitter and Facebook and to hell with them. When was the last time they stood for election? When was the last time they stood for anything? Ignore, ignore, ignore. Let me start. Actually, that was the start. Thank you. Let me continue by showing you this map. Notice anything? An absolutely incredible shift towards the Conservatives, all over the country. Wave, a wave of blue. I'll show you again, few little bits of red, the dark grey is no overall control, the light grey, no election. Let me show you again and just take this in. Now, I expected some sort of shift towards the Tories, but I must say, even I was surprised by the extent of the shift towards the Tories. And I have my own theories as to why that is. And I can sum it up, I've made a few little notes for myself. I can sum it up really with four things. Fear, Brexit, furlough and vaccines. And I'll explain what I mean by those in a few minutes, but before I do, let me go through a couple more details. There is, I'm going to put up on the, up here in front of you now. This is a website from the BBC. Can I just put this up for a second, please, Ed? From the BBC, which you can put in your postcode and get the full details of your area. I'm obviously for obvious reasons not going to go through every single area, but that is the most convenient site that I've found. You can put in your postcard and find all of your immediate, the results for your immediate area. But let's concentrate on a couple. Let's have a look at Hartlepool and at London. Now, Hartlepool had a parliamentary by-election, as we know. And Hartlepool has never before had a Tory MP. Now, before the seat was created in the 70s, the constituency of Hartlepool, but even before that, it never had a Tory MP. It now has a Tory MP by quite a significant swing, a 16% swing from Labour to the Conservatives in the parliamentary by-election here in Hartlepool. That's not the only shake, shake up by the Tories here in Hartlepool. They now have the most number of seats on Hartlepool Council, adding nine to their tally. So the Tories now have 13 seats on Hartlepool Council to Labour's 11. And that was an addition of nine by the Tories. That is a hell of a jump, again, by the Tories in that. And it's a very, it's a very bitter pill to swallow sometimes. Politics is a nasty game, a difficult game, and soul destroying if you let it. And I'll give you an example from here in Hartlepool was Karen King. Now, Karen King was an extremely hard worker for her two years on Hartlepool Council. I know the kind of work that Karen put in. She would regularly distribute updates, going around to people's houses, dropping off letters, telling them what she was doing. She would hire skips to prevent fly tipping when the lockdown happened and people were having to homeschool their kids. She used her councils allowance to buy them computer aids to do that and offer them to people and cleaning the place that was hard working counsellor. And she lost her seat, but the Tory who won, as far as I'm aware, had done no campaigning but came first. It's hard to take, it is a bitter pill to swallow, it really is. And it is the nature of the thing. It really is. It went the way it did because of national issues. And I'll go through the four, what I consider to be those national issues in a moment. But again, massive gains for the Conservatives in Hartlepool. In detail, in a bit more detail on the parliamentary by-election. Now, independence and small parties across the country had a really bad night. A lot of the small parties were form, heritage, even the more established ones, like the Greens and the Liberal Democrats, did not have a great night across the country. It was very much largely about the Conservatives. Labour, massive, massive chunk of its core electorate gone. It's lost yet another of its red wall seats in losing Hartlepool. But the small parties and the independence all did really, really badly. It was a bad night for all. And let me go through the, just to give you a demonstration of this, the Hartlepool parliamentary by-election. So we had the Conservatives with 15,529. Labour, 8,589. A significant drop then to the highest scoring independent, Sam Lee, who got 2,904 votes. In the next little section you've got the Heritage Party, which is David Corden's new party, Reform UK, which is Richard Tyson's previously Nigel Farage's. And then you've got the Greens and the Liberal Democrats in a little chunk there together. Heritage Party, 468, Reform UK. Remember, this is the, used to be Brexit party, 368. The Greens, 358. The Liberal Democrats, 349. And let me just make some, put that into a bit of perspective. I got more votes in a much, much smaller voting pool than Heritage, Reform, Green and the Liberal Democrats. I got more votes in a single ward than they got in the entire constituency. Let's put this, so let's put this into perspective. Let's have a look at London. And again, we have a race between the big two. In this occasion, of course, Labour coming out on top, but perhaps not by the gap that might have been expected. So there's also, where of course, Sadiq Khan won 1,013,721. Second place, Sean Bailey's from the Conservatives, 893,051. And then again, you've got a significant drop down to third place, which was the Green Party at 197,976. Below that, you have the Liberal Democrats at 111,000. Below that, Nico Omilana, an independent 49,628. Below that, you've got Lawrence Fox on 47,634. Now, again, Lawrence Fox has had media coverage, new party, apparently on the right, made a deal with Richard Tice and was endorsed by the Reform UK, who didn't stand in the London election. And Lawrence Fox was endorsed by Nigel Farage coming in at 47,000. A bad night for all but the big two. And a very bad night for everyone but the Conservatives. Now, it's another little surprise. It's a quick, sort of, honourable mention, if you like, of Rotherham. Rotherham had zero Tory councillors prior to Thursday night. It now has 20. Again, put that into, get that into, you know, this is an amazing shift towards the Conservatives. Absolutely amazing. And I will go through why I think that is. I mentioned four things, fear, Brexit, furlough and vaccines. So let's talk about fear. What kind of context, what kind of scenario have we been living in, in the last year and a bit? One of fear. And it is one of fear. And people, and I know a lot of people watching this will not agree with what I'm about to describe. A lot of people watching this will think that coronavirus, for example, was is just the flu repackaged. A lot of people will think that the masks and the social distancing and the lockdown and always were just catastrophic. But a lot of people don't think that. We have had, for over a year, our media absolutely saturated in coronavirus. A media telling us daily, giving us a daily death toll. That's how much fear was ramped up in the country and around the world in the last year and a bit. A daily death toll we were given. So changed where we, by fear, that we weren't able to visit each other, hug each other, shake hands, mix with our neighbours, go to a pub or restaurant. We were locked in our houses. That was the extent of the, that was the dramatic level of fear that we've been living in for the past year and a bit. In the midst of all that fear was certainly at the beginning of this pandemic. Boris Johnson's government on the TV pretty much every night, taking on a almost a father role, almost a Boris sort of became this image of, he's got a huge job on his shoulders, he's going to protect us, he's going to, and people looked to him and looked to his government because they were afraid and he was there they were on TV every night, telling us what they were doing to protect us. This has a huge impact, a huge psychological impact on the public at large and politics is all about psychology. Boris Johnson's government stepped into the media spotlight in the midst of widespread fear and told us they were going to protect us. That was what we've been saturated in, media saturation for more than a year. The backlash against labour is coming for quite a few reasons. I think people will have their own opinions on it, but the disconnect demonstrated by labour certainly over Brexit is extremely pronounced, extremely prevalent and for labour to pick, Hartlepool was 70% of Hartlepool voted to leave the European Union. For labour to have selected a staunch remainder to stand in this seat was, they may as well just have put their two fingers up at the electorate and it was mentioned to me more than once on the doorstep as I was campaigning here. The disconnect between labour and its northern leave voting heartlands, I'm sure it still has its woke remain voters, but its leave voting working class northern heartlands have turned against it and Brexit is a large part of it. With this disconnect it's shaped by Brexit but it's not exclusive to Brexit. Let me show you a point you to an article that I saw today and the headline is from the Daily Mail and the headline is they still don't get it, no they don't. Diane Abbott says Keir Starmer must start campaigning to bring back EU free movement as part of a winning strategy after a string of losses in the Brexit backing former heartlands. So within the Labour Party, now I know it's Diane Abbott, I know a lot of people will roll their eyes at Diane Abbott but she's not alone, she may be unique but she's not alone in this thinking and actually there's a large part of the Labour Party membership that also wants, that wants Keir Starmer to take this line but also wants him to start campaigning to go back into the EU. So labour being labour are entrenched in their own arrogance and that disconnect between its northern heartlands and its current party membership really including some of its most senior voices is just getting wider and they don't understand why this is happening. They don't understand why the northern heartlands have turned against them in such dramatic fashion and long may it continue because they do still no doubt have their woke lot but despite what the media will tell you, woke is not the majority or even close to it, it's not the majority of the country, it's not the majority of Labour voters. Woke won't get labour back into government and if it keeps up this ignorance and this arrogance demonstrated by Diane Abbott but not held only by Diane Abbott it will move further and further and further away from its previous core vote particularly in the north of England and then the midlands. So what happens then? Well there are a lot of people who, former Labour voters who simply will not vote for the Tories. I do think that Labour are going to continue in their arrogance and I hope, I hope that this is the permanent, it's not going to happen overnight but this is extraordinary, extraordinary stuff that gains the Tories are making from Labour is incredible and it matters and it's hugely significant but you are going to be left with a population, a demographic of former Labour voters who will never vote Tory. There is therefore an emerging gap, an emerging market for want for a better word which will need and I kept on it. Now to go back to some of the, again I just quickly want to mention before I go on to the other two reasons, I just quickly want to mention that I suspect this is the end of Reform UK and I suspect also that Lawrence Fox's reclaim party won't be going much further than this either which will leave again a woke gap, an anti-woke gap. I don't, I hear actually that Richard Tyson, Lawrence Fox are going into business together now apparently intending to open a pub in London which won't require masks or vaccine passports and will serve only British food. I don't know whether that means fish and chips and Sunday roasts or British produced food, I hope the latter would be better for British producers but that seems to be the plan now so I don't see reform or reclaim going on any further than this. Reform made a mistake again of going after one issue which was lockdowns and vaccines and a mistake to me is to campaign against something which large parts, to solely campaign against something which large parts of the public like are not actually support, it puts it also once again single issue and one with a time limit on it so I cannot see those continuing any further. Third reason I think there was such a massive shift towards the Conservative Party. Oh by the way, UKIP really, really badly as well across, I'm standing as far as I know only in Wales and in Sunderland and again like every other small party really, really, really bad at night. In fact as small parties go I did mention and I will mention it again because I want you to as members and supporters I want you to take this into perspective. I got more votes in a ward than the than reform UK got in a constituency, I got more votes in a ward than Greens got in a constituency, I got more votes in a ward than the Liberal Democrats got in a constituency, let's keep that in perspective and let's keep a perspective also that even with this massive shift towards the Conservatives including here in Hartlepool hundreds and hundreds of people in one ward voted for myself and Karen, let's keep that in mind. Okay so the third reason there was a major shift towards the Conservatives, furlough, furlough. People they do know that somehow this massive debt we're in is not a good thing but they also know that they need to pay their mortgage and look after their children and live and they have been allowed and enabled and supported in doing that by the Tory government through furlough. And the end to furlough will be difficult but people I think are simply grateful for the fact that with this pandemic, this lockdown of our society, this dramatic, fearful year that we've had, the Tories kept them afloat, they could pay their mortgage and look after their kids because of the Tory's furlough scheme, that they are grateful for. And finally vaccines and again a lot of people watching this will not agree, will not like the vaccines, myself included, but we have a lot of people who believe that this vaccine is their route back to freedom, their route back to normality and the Tories have got millions and millions and millions of people vaccinated with one dose and then millions and millions vaccinated with a second dose. This will also have caused a huge national bounce for the Tories and it's being seen absolutely everywhere. The good news is it is unlikely to last forever. If we do go back to normal in June, we're likely to revert back to normal in society generally, fear will lift, we'll get used, there will be a new normal, if I hate that expression as much as as many of you do but people will get used to it and we will start to go back to normal normal a little bit. If we don't come out of lockdown on the 21st of June as we're being told, that could also cause trouble for the Conservatives. But regardless, I cannot see how Labour are going to come back from this in their in their heartlands, I really can't and I do think there's a massive opportunity but you have to hold your nerve, you have to keep your head up high, keep your shoulders back and carry on, keep calm and carry on. That most British of attitudes is to keep calm and carry on and I know that the next year now for us we'll have to talk about some changes that perhaps that we need to make. We have already, but I know that there are people in branches across the country who want to get moving, get active on promotion of the party. There is of course a huge issue in people not knowing who we are and if they do they believe Wikipedia and the mainstream media. So I would absolutely encourage branches to get active in promoting us in your local area. We have issued at the very quite some time ago Kat did a wonderful guide book for local branches and how to raise funds, do promotion and today we have appointed an organiser to take that around the country and to help branches to do that to organising, to help events get organised, local folks are coming out, we're allowed to do things again in a few weeks' time, so to get to help branches get active and get out and start promoting the party. We still do face terrible obstacles, I have never ever denied those, the press, the disgraceful Looney Left who put out the most appalled, I mean when I tell you full of lies it's unbelievable. The day before the election they put out this leaflet about me around a Bruce Ward and it's just, I wouldn't be human if I didn't get angry about these things, full of lies, it's unbelievable and I mean it's not even that they call me far right when I'm not or they call me racist when I'm not, even things like I grew up in a wealthy suburb of Dublin, I must tell my mother that I grew up in a wealthy suburb of Dublin because she will be shocked to learn that. I mean outright lies and if they had looked up where I grew up in Dublin, which they didn't, they just made the top of head, if they had looked up where I grew up then I can assure you and if anyone knows Dublin I'll give you the North Circular Road and Blanchetstown, that's where I grew up so anyone who knows Dublin will know that neither of those count as a wealthy suburb believed me and had they looked that up they would know that but they didn't look it up, they just top of head said this, they just lie and again it is a bitter pill to swallow but this is what we are up against and maybe I maybe I've had time to get used to it, it still is enraging but I suppose personally I've had time to get used to this, what it does is remind me of the nature of our enemy, it's sheer rotten to the core, I wouldn't dream of putting out a leaflet lying about somebody, I wouldn't dream of it, it's deeply deeply immoral, there was a group on Facebook currently poor politics and you should hear the things they used to say to me and about me on there, I genuinely, I left it, no one needs this, it's you actually, you think to yourself get help, get help, what is, what are you people so angry about and vicious, venomous hatred of someone, they've never met someone stood in the street and called me filth and scum and evil and you're going to get your comeuppance, this guy knows nothing about me, this is what we're up against and again looking back at it and these people need help, psychiatric help, therapy, so that is who we're up against, that hasn't changed and that is why you remain, you remain the bravest candidates and the bravest party in this country, there is no doubt in my mind and for all the other so-called non-woke and outspoken and brave and no, no, make brave to an extent but not as brave as us and that's what takes me to France, doesn't physically take me to France but it takes me onto the topic of France, I'm going to remind you now why this party is so needed, why this party is so hated even by people on our own side of politics and why you must carry on, this is, it was a bad night for everyone apart from the big two but we must soldier on and I'm now going to explain by reference to our next-door neighbour France as to why that is, in the Guardian today, headline, French soldiers accuse government of trying to silence warnings of civil war, serving members of the French military have fired a second salvo at Emmanuel Macron's government in an open letter accusing it of cowardice, deceit, perversion, just weeks after a first letter said the country was heading for civil war, two letters have been written by either former or current former senior members of the French military and now a second letter by serving members of the French military warning that the country is heading towards a civil war, the government has of course condemned them, called them cowards which is an interesting choice and it's one of those, it's a bit like when, I hope not hate, accuse other people of hate, these cowards are accusing the brave of being cowards, one of the ministers over there said it was the French, it wasn't the French military's job to do this, to interfere in politics, it was their duty and their job to defend France, that's exactly what they are trying to do and now those who are serving are likely to be kicked out of the military, the press, both the Guardian and the BBC and by the way the BBC have this story sitting in a, you have to scroll down to get it, corner of the world section of their website, have to look quite hard for this on the BBC's website, stuck down in a little corner that you have to scroll down to find and it says, a new open letter has been published in France warning of the threat of civil war and claiming to have more than 130,000 signatures from the public, the message published in a right wing magazine, here we go, accuses the French government of granting concessions to Islamism, it is all about the survival of our country said the text, said to be issued anonymously by soldiers and appealing for public support, the French government condemned it as well as a similar letter last month, interior minister Gerald Darminin said called the latest letter a crude manoeuvre and accused its signatories of lacking courage, absolutely incredible, it takes courage to stand up and tell these kinds of truths, it is of course being dismissed by mainstream media and who are linking it not so subtly with the far right one else and here we have the BBC going on to say, far right leader Marine Le Pen, a candidate in next year's presidential election, spoke out in support of the estimated thousand servicemen and women who backed the April letter, the new text was published late on Sunday, although members and ranks of the original signatory said to be active members of the military remain unclear, the authors of the letter describe themselves as part of a young generation of soldiers who have served in Afghanistan, Mali and Central African Republic or joined domestic anti-terrorism operations, they gave their skin to destroy the Islamism to which you are giving concessions on our soil, they wrote, that is actually quite touching and quite true and quite pertinent for the UK as well, because we also are doing exactly the same things. British military go abroad to fight the Taliban or other terror groups, proponents of and activists for and fighters for an ideology, that same ideology is being promoted, not just pandered to but promoted here in the UK, just as it is in France and if we think for a minute that this issue has gone away, please think again, not even close, not even close, we've been swamped in Covid, this has not gone away, it is coming back, we are going down exactly the same road, let me give you another frightening bit of information, now this is from a publication called the Catholic Weekly, I'll put all these out on my Facebook page and GAB account after the live stream, so this is from May 5th from the Catholic Weekly and it says, France loses a religious building every two weeks, but that's a little bit misleading, that headline, I'll explain why I say that in a second, arson and demolition are among reasons for lost churches, one religious building is disappearing in France every two weeks, that is the conclusion of Edward de Lama's president of the observatoire du patrimon religious observatory of religious heritage in Paris, he is raising the alarm in the French media about the gradual disappearance of religious edifices in a country known as the eldest daughter of the church because the Frankish King Clover's the first embraced Catholicism in 496, Lama's appeal for increased awareness came after a fire destroyed the 16th century church of Saint Pierre in Normandy in northern France, the fire deemed accidental took place on April 15th, exactly two years after the blaze that devastated the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, the unforgettable image of the born in cathedral which circled the planet in 2019 pointed to a deeper issue within French society, serious shortcomings in the preservation of religious monuments coupled with increasing hostility toward religion, whereas Lama's told Catholic news agency an interview that in addition to one religious building disappearing every two weeks by demolition, transformation, destruction by fire or collapse, two throats of fires in religious buildings are due to arson. Now I said that the headline is somewhat misleading when it says religious building disappearing every two weeks every two weeks in France because at the very same rate that Christian buildings are disappearing in France, mosques are being built at exactly the same rate. This is serious and this is something that is not going to is not confined to France is a massive major threat to our country's our way of life and don't do not think this is a French problem. I want to show you or I want to share with you a piece of information that I was sent on social media, emphasise the scale of the issue again it's related to France but again this is not a solely a French problem this is apparently I can't vote for this but I'm going to share it with you anyway it is apparently from a whistleblower in the BBC regarding reporting on France. The media my point in sharing this with you is to show you how much this is probably I say I can't vote for this but I am inclined to believe it. The media is probably likely covering up what is actually a major story developing next door in a major European country and one in which all a problem caused by an issue which exists in every European it's only every western European country so what's happening in France it'll happen everywhere you have the same issues the same problems the same division the same intolerance coming from a population and a growing population and a population growing every day via the English Channel in this country it says I work at Media City north of Manchester I can absolutely confirm that the British media has been handed a denotus legal gagging order to prevent reporting on inflammatory incidents such as injured or killed protesters not allowed to mention the word France or French on the main page of the BBC news website and against reporting on the yellow jackets for national security reasons it's not fully legally binding but the director director Janon has enforced the denotus the government is treating this as a security threat to all European governments and are trying to prevent a european spring type situation and preparing multiple pre-written stories in case a major incident forces them to break the denotus and it involves and the strategy involves framing it as far right portraying the violence as perpetrated by front national supporters or russian fake news fueling it etc a big spider web spider web diagram brief on a projector is in the world politics writer's room pre-empting what type of incident might occur and what pre-written articles will follow large unarmed civilian deaths that's one topic is on a red diamond it lights up the lines I don't really quite understand this is on a red diamond it lights up the lines narratives and green circles I don't understand that's exactly what's written if the mass if there are mass police defections diamond lights diamonds light up to a different circuit of narratives in other words my impression of what they're saying here is that they've got a diagram on the wall which has for example large unarmed civilian deaths and then you have a diagram a coloured diamond seems to be the indicator and there are a certain amount of pre-written articles for that coloured diamond a second to issue is mass police defections and that has a different coloured diamond and that is related to a different set of pre-written articles they've assigned a social media team to update the projector board in real time this level of pressuring is unprecedented even compared to 2014-2015 which was the last time which is when we had this massive migrant crisis and terrorism crisis in France so the media are planning to keep this stuff quiet absolutely planning to keep it quiet but this is a major issue and I tell you about it for two reasons one to highlight it but two to remind you of why you are so important you are still the only political party who is going to face this it's not going anywhere don't be disheartened by last week every small party independence massive massive blow to everyone and like I say to put it into perspective even with even with that shift towards the Tories I got more votes in a smaller pool than the Greens and Liberal Democrats and what was the other one Greens Liberal Democrats and reform and heritage I got more votes in a ward than they got in a whole constituency so please don't be disheartened now I know that I said we've appointed James to be an organiser to help branches around the country get active to promote the party locally I know he has incredible ideas and I'm delighted that he's going to be able to run with those ideas and help other people to help branches around the country with those ideas in promoting us but we will still be doing good old-fashioned politics I will be standing again next year and I will stand again the year after that and the year after that and in the meantime I'll be doing all I can to continue to promote us here we carry on we get up we dust ourselves off we look put everything into perspective and we carry on proud of ourselves because we should be proud of ourselves and for all the idiots on Twitter ignore them when was the last time they did anything as brave as you okay let me go to some questions is that Richard it's a likely to be a face-to-face conference this year it's a good question Richard we are having a committee meeting very soon and that's one of the things that we'll discuss my hope is yes I want us to get together oh and just as you've brought that up branch meetings we are allowed to meet actual humans meeting other humans from the 17th so on the 19th I'm going to talk to my first branch for a long time which will be over in the northwest so if you're in that area please do come along it's the 19th of May in the northwest it will be the first and if you want me to come to one of your branches please let me know and let's start getting together again because it's been a long time uh Paul we were encouraged by your experience over the campaign certainly a huge a lot of people and it transpired from the drum step into the into the ballot box absolute disdain for labour that can only be a positive thing but there's some heart breaking there's some heart breaking um results and there are some very I know things have been really difficult for people but you must hold you must you must hold your head so so high you must and opportunities the next election will be completely different to this one and the one after that will be completely different again it is the nature of the thing and what we need to do is support each other prop each other up pad each other on the back find new ways of working find new ways learn lessons where they need to be learned find new ways of working come back ever better and ever stronger and our priority now for the next year or for this one next six months because there'll be more elections in a year is to promote promote promote and I say we're hitting the ground running in that regard already but we have to have to stay proud because you are still and I will say it until I'm blue in the face the bravest people in British politics and that's one of the reasons that you come under fire the way that you do okay this is from uh Stu says it's my understanding that voter ID is being introduced okay I'll have a I haven't heard of that I'll have um I'll have a look at that one just quickly write it down actually I'll have a look at that one for next week thank you Stu Alice Labour asked me as a union affiliate member if I wanted my postal vote sent to a different address than my registered electoral address this is a major red flag no pun intended well I you know Alice I labor cheating is not no one's going to be no one's going to faint in shock from that the idea of labor cheating labor cheat we know this uh we know that the left wing cheats we know that often all they have in their armory is mockery and insults and anger and rage and lies and putting out stupid little leaflets full of rubbish this is what they are this is what they are um and this is why I mean I'm no fan of the Tories but I don't I've not seen any evidence of them cheating in any way to the extent that labor I mean we see it all over the place with labor um and I don't doubt at all that postal voting is their main method of cheating which is why postal voting has to go in all but the most um extreme if you like circumstances people who genuinely can't be in the country um postal votes have to be severely severely brought down and reduced stewigan do you envisage an influx of members after the downfall of reclaim you keep et cetera that's one of the things that we absolutely have to target absolutely let me um actually we need to we need we need to target them we will target them um um we'll keep you we'll keep you up to date as to that but I would encourage local branches to because a lot of you will know each other so you will know if you're active in one of our local branches around the country you're bound to know people active in a reform UK branch or a UK branch go and talk to them get them on board we really do need to target them now and it will be a genuine focus um read you think elections are interfered with I cannot believe Cedric Khan getting elected what's the true wish of the voters I couldn't say Elaine um without any evidence but I actually can I'm afraid believe that Cedric Khan was reelected uh we have a how do I put this a London which is largely uh immigrant or woke a both or on benefits or um living in crime riddled poverty riddled areas which ironically makes them vote Labour and the circle of poverty doesn't seem to be recognised by all which is by which I mean Labour keeps people in poverty in order to get the vote of people in poverty it's almost buying it it's also of course encouraged and continues to encourage mass immigration purely for those reasons so unfortunately I I I have no idea whether elections are are interfered with in London I wouldn't like I wouldn't be able to say without evidence but I do sadly believe um it doesn't surprise me that Cedric Khan would win that he has done before and I mean I'm just actually just reminded um you you remember the the London Assembly when he was questioned on crime in London and he was I can't the name of the person who questioned him is is not in my head but he was asked he was given statistics from the Metropolitan Police showing that robbery was up homicide was up rape was up um just name a crime and it had gone up under his leadership in London and then at the end of providing all these statistics he asked are you seriously telling me that London is safer since you took over as mayor and he said yes it is I mean this is this is 1984 stuff um but sadly the media again appears to be the media in London appears to be on his side and you've got the woke lefty immigrant population which makes up an absolute mass of London's population and so yeah it doesn't surprise me I'm alone at all Amri would you agree that illegal immigrants are now government assets oh it's actually that's quite quite a way to put it the money circle G4x in French Sodexo is making is in the billions that's a really interesting point I'll let the way you phrase that are now government assets um do you know what I think I want to cover that in a bit more detail next week Elaine if you have anything in particular you want me to see about that um any articles any documents will you send them in to Sharon at inquiries for me as I'd like to see what it is I'd like to see those billions um and you phrase that very well so I would like to come back to that in a lot more detail next week um Elaine please do if you would send though send anything you have on that to Sharon at inquiries at forbritain.uk and I'll come back to it in detail next week I'll also come back to the other another thing that has come up um I'm very aware of time now which is the French fishing dispute so let me cover both of those in more detail next week uh Tony just renewed my for britain membership thank you Tony continue to do what I can in talking about the party to others my question my question is have you noticed how FISA adverse effects escapes MSN critical analysis um quite interesting actually and just as I was coming on there was another flash up from the the little flash I don't know what it's called it's proper name um something about AstraZeneca so let me go in to their note the top five stories on coronavirus tonight it's not there let me check quickly under the coronavirus head in itself it came up as a little breaking news um more scandals surrounding AstraZeneca but I don't actually see anything in even under its coronavirus um news okay I'll tell you what I'll do I might do a little extra stream this week I might do an extra video this week covering a few of these because we aren't just about out of time and these are important I don't necessarily want to leave it till next week and I do want to answer these questions so what I'll do I'll tell you what I'll do I'm doing it another live stream on Wednesday morning I'm going to continue my Hartlepool live streams every Wednesday morning and what I'll do at the same time is record another video answering these questions rather than leaving it over until next week next week because they are good questions and I do want to answer them I want to finish just with a quick look actually at what's going on with coronavirus at the moment and we are apparently still on track to go back out to the world back to normal and you can see again I'm just looking at that picture here on uh it's top top headline on on BBC at the moment is Boris Johnson approves England's biggest step back to normal and you've got this very this very uh this picture of Boris at the at the lectern with the two big union jacks and the and the navy background and it's all very authoritative and it's all very I'm protecting you and this is a large part of we've had this free it is a large part of this massive shift towards the conservatives uh it says people in england oh it's almost unbelievable still after all this time I still can't get used to this wait for this people in england will be allowed to hug their loved ones and enjoy indoor hospitality from next monday people will be allowed to hug their loved ones incredible uh the PM said whilst urging urging the public to exercise caution and common sense Boris Johnson said it was the single biggest step in relaxing restrictions and people should use good judgment indoor mixing in overnight stays in groups of up to six people or two households will also resume leisure venues such as cinemas museums and children's play areas will reopen amazing I'd love to go and see a film I really would I'd love to go for a meal that I don't have to eat outside in the rain either uh however let's carry on a little bit and see if there's any sting in the tail speaking at a Downing Street news conference Mr Johnson said the further relaxation of england's lockdown would go ahead on 17th may as the government had met its four tests for easing restrictions these tests relied on the success of the vaccine rollout evidence that the jabs were reducing serious illness and death infection rates remaining under control and the risks from new covid variants not changing the prime minister said the latest data showed deaths and hospitalizations had dropped to their lowest level since last july zero coronavirus deaths were announced in england scotland and northern island on monday while wales recorded four deaths okay so it looks like we will take that next step back to some sort of normal um although we will obviously be keeping a close eye on how that goes right what's up what am i doing next um what am i doing next okay tomorrow night i'm on voice of wales at eight o'clock um i've been talking about elections and i'll also be talking about fgm they have approached me with some interesting stats about fgm in wales during the lockdown so this tomorrow night voice of wales on youtube my economic blog will be back tomorrow wednesday i'll be doing my ten o'clock heartly pool-based livestream uh i will do a video answering the question i'll record a video answering the questions that i have here and then go back to book reviews as well and various other things that i have and i was it was suggested to me i think it was by mandy prior to the election that i should have a look at bernand colman's latest or i don't well what i don't know if it's his latest but a book by bernand colman and the end game which should be interesting so i will do that i'll read that as soon as i can and do a book review on that as soon as i can i'm going to go back to doing short ten minute ish youtube videos as well every friday i'm hoping it should be um hoping it should be my own youtube channel should be back back walking again um so i'll start that up again as well um okay that is it from me this evening i want to finish by once again and i mean it most most sincerely it was a bad night it was a bad night for everyone apart from the conservative party we keep on we carry on with every reason to be proud we must and will come together as a party and i do mean physically as well because we are allowed to actually get together again i mean my first branch meeting since this craziness started in the
