Starting point is 00:00:00 So you're hosting the family barbecue this week, but everyone knows your brother is the grill guy, and it's highly likely he'll be backseat barbecuing all night. So be it. Impress even the toughest of critics with freshly prepared Canadian barbecue favorites from Sobeys. No spin, no bias, no censorship. I'm Dan Wood and this is Outspoken Live, episode number 216. And it's getting dirty, folks. Really, really dirty. Indeed, with just one sleep to go, this local election campaign could be the sleaziest in British political history, with lies and lawfare being deployed by all sides at will. So breaking right now, the panicking Conservatives are using
Starting point is 00:00:46 another smear campaign to try and stop Dame Andrea Jenkins charging to become the first ever Mayor of Lincolnshire. Not under a Tory banner, of course, but as a Reform UK changemaker. This campaign has been the worst imaginable. Call the police on me. We've had the Conservative Party contact all the national media spreading these. Well, Andrea will be here live today from the campaign trail in Lincolnshire to respond to the latest smears. In my digest next, I'll also look at the new war of words between Slippery Starmer and Nigel Farage and Farage and Rupert Lowe, with his staff now suing Reform UK. But that didn't stop him owning two-tier Kia at PMQs.
Starting point is 00:01:43 Is it not time to admit that you can pay for it but smash the gangs was nothing more than an election slogan and not a policy and isn't it time to declare a national emergency will you give way according way also coming up on this show today why the hell is kneecap this irish republican band playing at Glastonbury despite calling for the death of Tory MPs, the murder of Tory MPs actually, when Lucy Connolly remains behind bars? Well, her husband, Raymond Connolly, running tomorrow as a Conservative councillor, will be here live. And as the only answer to protect free speech in the United Kingdom, the possibility of some folk like Lucy Connolly receiving political asylum in the United States under
Starting point is 00:02:32 Donald Trump, we will analyse. Then, in the uncancelled aftershow on Substack, Meghan Markle has tried her best to derail Catherine the Princess of Wales by copying her wedding anniversary outfit in Scotland and posting it on social media. Honestly, folks, this behaviour is just psychopathic now. The great news is, though, we're going to unleash Lady Colin Campbell on all of it. You know she's going to be sharp. You know she's going to be hilarious. Sign up to watch on Substack www.outspoken.live. Of course, at the end of the show, we'll also reveal today's greatest Britain and Union jackass as ever. Union jackass is voted for by you via the YouTube live chat.
Starting point is 00:03:15 You can cast your vote right now. Here are today's nominees. Dr. Victoria McLeod, nominated by At It's Only Me 44. And she is the transgender judge and sorry it's only me 44 has nominated the transgender judge for taking the government to the european court of human rights over the supreme court ruling that trans women are not legally women that's the first nominee second nominee ed milliband nominated by iq milo and that's for thinking he can dim the sum to the same level of his intelligence. And the third nominee, Carla Denya, nominated by XXWomenXX of the
Starting point is 00:03:54 Lunatic Green Party. And this is because she has called for a withdrawal of ill-considered EHRC trans single sex spaces guidelines. So get voting and we will reveal the greatest Britain and union jackass at the end of today's show, plus your best or worst most feisty comments. Now, let's go. it's been the dirtiest election campaign of lawfare in british history as the uni party fight to wipe out reform uk while nigel farage's party remains locked in a civil war meaning they're actually taking incoming from the left and the right and here's the good reason, although I don't think it's excusable, but here is why Labour and the Conservatives are going to such extreme and in some cases unprecedented and
Starting point is 00:04:53 legally questionable lengths to stop the march of reform. Look how close it is. In Runcorn and Halsby, one of Slippery Starmer's previously safest seats, which has prompted even diehard Tories like Michael Fabricant-Hare calling for tactical voting for Reform UK to win. And quite rightly, Nigel is going all out to battle this impression that a vote for reform will always result in Labour winning, posting a new poll showing reform storming ahead with the words, this historic poll shows that if you vote reform on Thursday, you will elect a reform councillor. And seriously, like when it comes to Runcorn and Helsby, you are mad if you vote for the Labour candidate. I want to show you Karen Shaw now. This woman
Starting point is 00:05:46 is an absolute mess. Over the weekend, we saw that the government had announced the closing down of the asylum hotel locally. Do you think there's recognition that reform are snapping at your heels in the local area? I think, and I've said this before, that closing down the asylum hotels was something that was in the manifesto last year at the general election. It's just not something that is much talked about.
Starting point is 00:06:12 And that, for me, is not coming from a place of prejudice or discrimination, quite the opposite. It's coming from a place of human decency, that they are not nice places to put asylum seekers to live because they can't cook, they can't clean, they're on top of each other in their living, etc. It's just not a nice place to be held. And the fact that they're held for so long
Starting point is 00:06:32 because the processing has been so slow. This is what we're dealing with. You actually couldn't make it up. The Labour candidate in Runcorn and Helsby saying that four-star hotels for illegals are not good enough because they can't cook. They're in too close quarters. So instead, they're going to take your homes.
Starting point is 00:06:56 I mean, this is nuts. This is insanity. And Farage was right to take it to Starmer at PMQs today on the government's appalling decision to throw open our borders with absolutely no plan, having promised during the election campaign to smash the gangs. 10,000 young undocumented males have illegally crossed the English Channel into our country, a 40% increase on this time last year, many coming from cultures that are somewhat alien to ours. They are being housed at a cost of many billions of pounds a year in hotels and increasingly in private rented homes.
Starting point is 00:07:36 The effect on communities is one of a sense of deep unfairness actually bordering on resentment. In Runcourt alone, there are 750 of these young men. Just in one of the yn y cyfnod oedd yn ystod y cyfnod oedd yn y cyfnod oedd yn y cyfnod oedd yn y cyfnod oedd yn y cyfnod oedd yn y cyfnod oedd yn y cyfnod oedd yn y cyfnod oedd yn y cyfnod oedd yn y cyfnod oedd yn y cyfnod oedd yn y cyfnod oedd yn y cyfnod oedd yn y cyfnod oedd yn y cyfnod oedd yn y cyfnod oedd yn y cyfnod oedd yn y cyfnod oedd yn y cyfnod oedd yn y cyfnod oedd yn y cyfnod oedd yn y cyfnod oedd yn y cyfnod oedd yn y cyfnod oedd yn y cyfnod oedd yn y cyfnod oedd yn y cyfnod oedd yn y cyfnod oedd yn y cyfnod oedd yn y cyfnod oedd yn y cyfnod oedd yn y cyfnod oedd yn y cyfnod oedd yn y cyfnod oedd yn y cyfnod oedd yn y cyfnod oedd yn y cyfnod oedd yn y cyfnod oedd yn y cyfnod oedd yn y cyfnod oedd yn y cyfnod oedd yn y cyfnod oedd yn y cyfnod oedd yn y cyfnod oedd yn y cyfnod oedd yn y cyfnod oedd yn y cyfnod oedd yn y cyfnod oedd yn y cyfnod oedd yn y cyfnod oedd yn y cyfnod oedd yn y cyfnod oedd yn y cyfnod oedd yn y cyfnod oedd yn We must take back control of our borders after the last government lost control. But what did he and his party do? Did they support those extra measures to actually smash the dam? No, they went in the lobby with this lot in their new coalition to vote against them. And let's be clear what a vote for his party means. It means a vote to charge for the NHS.
Starting point is 00:08:38 It means a pro-Putin foreign policy and a vote against workers' rights. And now we hear, Mr Speaker Mr Speaker has recruited Liz Truss as his new top advisor, as he was cheering on the mini budget. Well, I mean, he thinks that's a terrible thing. I would be absolutely delighted if Liz Truss joined Reform UK personally. But we can't deny the fact that Reform's campaign has been beset by internal difficulties after the decision to shot rupert low to the cops for hurting words and if you look at this picture it's almost like he was actually haunting barrage at bmqs today you can see him
Starting point is 00:09:18 just over for arja's shoulder there but he's haunting him in more ways than just physically, with Rupert's staff this afternoon announcing a bombshell decision to sue Reform UK just one day before the polls open. So the press release, which was posted by Low on X, read, Today DRM Legal has served a letter of claim on Reform UK on behalf of four individuals working for Rupert Lowe MP. The action follows the publication of an internal report commissioned by Reform UK, which publicly named them where there was no legal basis for doing so. Our clients wish to make clear that they strenuously deny the allegations made against
Starting point is 00:09:57 them in the report and feel compelled to make the statement to correct the public record. And in a damning column for the Daily Telegraph, Rupert Lowe called on voters to turn against reform, saying that raising and then dashing the hopes of the British people would be simply unforgivable. He wrote, I've seen it from the inside as a reform MP, the lack of professionalism, the hubris, the arrogance. They believe the 2029 election is already won and this is all just a victory lap. This is a condescending approach to politics, all in the belief that confetti and fireworks provide more value than policy and detail. Please listen to someone who has witnessed this rot. A vote for reform on
Starting point is 00:10:36 Thursday is an approval of their condescending electoral strategy fueled by arrogance, rage and ego and it's an endorsement I simply cannot give. This isn't a general election. Vote for a candidate who genuinely cares about your local community, someone who has thought seriously about how to make a real difference, then presented credible plans. You're not letting Labour in. Labour is already in and they'll stay there until 2029. Nothing that happens this week will change that. Britain does not need a protest, it needs a plan. Reform has certainly not offered one. Now, that column sparked a war of words between Rupert and Isabel Oakeshott, the journalist and partner of Reform's deputy
Starting point is 00:11:20 leader Richard Tice, who wrote pure undiluted nonsense from Rupert Lowe, the idea that reform's leadership is secretly thinking that the 2029 election is in the bag is a complete figment of his wild imagination. Just to be clear, nobody, literally nobody in the party is stupid enough to think that. He replied to Isabel saying, I want substance, detail, policy, a plan. This isn't a game. Reform has offered sod all. All we get is turquoise confetti and fireworks. We don't need more vacuous bullshit from politicians. Farage might be able to win an election, but he certainly can't run the country. But surely neither can the Conservatives after their 14 years of failure. But that hasn't stopped the Tories using Rupert's words to campaign against reform.
Starting point is 00:12:15 Take this from the frontbencher, Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp, who posts on X, Rupert Lowe is right about this. Reform is a protest party with no plan. But that then prompted, because this is where things get really messy, Rupert to take aim at the Conservatives, perhaps his future party on X Today, writing, as Kemi Badenoch now backs the removal of all illegal migrants, I call on her to give her party's support to my mass deportation motion in Parliament. So far, one Conservative MP has signed, zero from reform. And Sipri Starmer did use PMQs today to hammer the Tories over the division between Kemi Badenoch and Robert Jenrick in an actually quite funny, although clearly scripted, he didn't think of this himself, line.
Starting point is 00:12:58 Watch this. I may also congratulate everyone across the House, including members of this House and A gaf i hefyd ddiolch i bawb ar draws y Tŷ, gan gynnwys aelodau'r Tŷ hon a'r Gallar Gwyllt, sy'n rhedeg marathons yn Llondain a Manchester. Yn enwedig, y Prif Weinidog am Gordon a Buchan, am y rhan fwyaf ffynig o unrhyw M.P. Ac wrth gwrs, y Prif Weinidog Gwleidydd Gwleidydd, sy'n cael ei wybod yn hyderus, sy'n dal i fynd. course, the shadow justice secretary, who I'm reliably informed is still running. Mr. Speaker, this morning I had meetings with Minister O'Connor and others. In addition to my teachers in this house, I shall have further such meetings later today. And he is still running and he should still be running because what I want is the Overtoun window to shift. But none of that excuses the despicable tactics, including lawfare, being used by the Tories to shut out reform stars like Andrea Jenkins, who's on the campaign trail today and
Starting point is 00:13:56 will join me live shortly. Now, Andrea has described herself as a smear campaign survivor. And she has outlined the way the Tories are trying to destroy her, stop her unfairly, becoming the first ever Lincolnshire Mayor. Now, this lies and smear campaign has been brought about by the opposition candidate's husband. Now, this is Marianne Overton, her husband put this in. And I've got the ruling through, and they have dismissed these claims. So this has actually been, you can see I look quite tired, One of the worst campaigns I've ever done. Now, I have stood in four general elections. This is my second local government election. And I've stood in 2017 when Corbyn was leader and the Corbynistas and Momentum lot was coming after me because I took the seat off Ed Balls. I thought that was vile. But to me,
Starting point is 00:15:06 this campaign has been the worst imaginable. Now, we've had conservative people call the police on me. We've had the Conservative Party contact all the national media spreading these smears. So we've had Marion Overton's husband, as I said, she's the independent candidate. We've had Hope Not Hate spreading all these lies and attacking me. And, you know, we've even had trade unions contact employees of Lincolnshire County Council suggesting that they break purdah to put a video out attacking me saying I'll be a disaster for Lincolnshire. And of course, there has been no fair coverage from the MSM when it comes to reform. I could pick a million examples, but I just want to show you how Channel 4, Channel 4 News, tried to frame their interview with andrea jenkins
Starting point is 00:16:07 i'm standing for reform to be your mayor reform lines of righteous party describing herself as a disruptor the defector andrea jenkins previously a boris johnson loyalist who fought back tears the day he resigned and controversially gave the finger to protesters. She was then made a dame in his honours list before switching sides. I left the Conservatives because I didn't feel there was Conservative enough in what they did to Boris. A new poll suggests reform are well ahead of the Tories. The outcome will be symbolic for both parties. So do you get the impression that people in Tory HQ are watching this seat very closely and watching you? Yes, definitely. I mean, I've still got friends in the Conservative Party.
Starting point is 00:16:51 I've got some who's helping me in the background who wants me to win. This is the first real test for reform since the general election, which explains why they've poured so much into this campaign, including this visit to the steelworks. So we're in the plant at Scunthorpe. Because, I mean, here you've got pictures of you and Nigel Farage. I mean, you're the party that believes in free markets, deregulation, and suddenly you're calling for nationalisation. I've wrestled with this.
Starting point is 00:17:17 As someone who was a Conservative for so long, it's not natural looking at nationalisation. Your opponents have said you're an opportunist. No, of course it's not, no. And did you notice they edited out how Andrea justified the decision, which says it all. And today, with just one day before the polls closing, CCHQ, which is working with the Establishment Times newspaper
Starting point is 00:17:42 to launch a news smear on Reform UK. And Andrea Jenkins writing, CCHQ is demanding reform launches an investigation over a Times report alleging Aaron Banks, Farage's minted pal, who's running for the meaningless job of the West of England, Merrilty, offered Jenkins £80,000 to defect to the party. They say their reporter, Tom Withereau, has seen a WhatsApp from Jenkins to a colleague in which she alleges banks tried to bribe me. And then they quote a Conservative Party source saying, once again, there are serious questions hanging over reform. With one of their MPs being a convicted criminal, the party still consumed by warfare and now a bribery scandal engulfing two of their most high-profile candidates. It is clear this is a house of cards ready to come crashing down. It's not a serious political party. But to respond to those news smears live, I'm delighted that Dame Andrea Jenkins is here. dame andrea jenkins is in her car she is on the campaign trail in lincolnshire and dame andrea
Starting point is 00:18:57 what did you make of the fact that just one day before the, the mainstream media is now conspiring with the Conservative Party to try and smear you again over these claims regarding Aaron Banks. Were you prepared for this one? No, I mean, there's been several national media campaigns against me, actually. You know, the Daily Mail has done three um articles about me um i mean one of them was actually just me opening coca-cola a solar farm which was on brownfield site a disused um mine shaft and i was trying to make out that i'm a hypocrite because i don't want solar farms on our fields and agricultural land i mean there's a bit difference between brownfield isn't there and something like this.
Starting point is 00:19:45 So it's been going on for several weeks, Dan, but it's even been a local level. Now, I got a message yesterday from a good friend in Boston, and he tells me on the WhatsApp that the Boston Conservatives have been going around
Starting point is 00:19:59 this last week saying I slept with Boris Johnson to get my damehood. I mean, isn't that vile? Boris and Carrie are good friends of mine. I got a message yesterday about that. So sorry, the someone... The Boston Conservatives have been going around.
Starting point is 00:20:15 If you remember, I used to be a Boston councillor, Lincolnshire County councillor. I got shown, I got a message from a good friend of mine who told me, Andrea, they're trying to smear you locally. The Conservatives are going around saying that you slept with Boris Johnson to get your damehood. I mean, how vile and disgusting and misogynistic is that? Boris and Carrie are good friends
Starting point is 00:20:37 and I supported both of them as much as I could because they're friends and I believed in him as a Prime Minister. It's also incredibly sexist as well, isn't it, Andrea? Because that isn't an attack that they would make on a male candidate. But wow, I mean, this is so much dirtier than even the mainstream media are reporting. No, exactly, Dan. And I mean, as you know, we know each other very well. We're friends. I'm a strong person, but it's been a hellish few weeks. You know, I've shed tears. I haven't slept much. And I've got on good authority. It was the Conservatives who called the police on me, saying I broke electoral law, which I haven't. As I said, Marion Overton,
Starting point is 00:21:26 the independent candidate's husband, put a complaint into the council about me, saying I'm not eligible to stand. So a hearing had to take place. I had to get a barrister to defend me, show proof that I'm paying rent and living in Lincolnshire. And still I did the BBC hustings, Dan, listen to this, on Monday. And the Conservative candidate still questioning whether I live in Lincolnshire at all, despite me being cleared. And the reform candidate,
Starting point is 00:21:57 sorry, not the reform, sorry, the independent candidate even named the village that I live in Lincolnshire. And you know, I've had seven death threats. And they're still questioning me. And also, I don't know if you saw, The Independent did an article where the Conservative, a Conservative source has said that if I win the election,
Starting point is 00:22:17 they're going to put a legal challenge to rerun the election. I've never, ever known anything like this. I mean, this is so disgusting. It's like the Democrats in America. It's like full on lawfare coming to the UK. Now, I think it's because the Conservatives are so terrified about reform. You can we'll come to that in just a moment. But can we just clear up once and for all, Andrew, because this is so ludicrous firstly you're from lincolnshire right like that is your home like this is absolutely i moved when i was seven years old yeah school college university here yeah so that's the first thing the second thing is you have a home in your old constituency because that is where
Starting point is 00:23:01 your son clifford goes to school but throughout the entire course of this campaign, you've been spending so much time in a rented house in Lincolnshire and you have pledged to the voters that when you win, and I'm going to say when you win tomorrow, you will move full time. But of course, that involves changing schools for Clifford. So that's not something that you can just do overnight. Absolutely. And with his school, you've got to give a term's notice as well, because he's got special needs, autism and ADHD. I sent him to a
Starting point is 00:23:35 private school because he was two years behind. And you've got to give a full term's notice. So it's not something as a parent you can do overnight. And but it's just been violent. I mean, I've been on the electoral roll since the very beginning of January. And the thing is, Andrea, actually, there is not even a hint that this is in some way against any rules. No. Well, it got thrown out by the council and the police didn't investigate it further they said they had no evidence so it's yeah it's just been a smear campaign i mean um i've also do you know what's been quite shocking i mean you know one of my friends i won't mention
Starting point is 00:24:21 alive on air um but a friend of 17 years who I just my understanding from my source within the Tory parties, she's helping lead this smear campaign. And, you know, I found out a few days ago when a friend sent me their Twitter account that she's had a Twitter account for two years trolling me, even coming to my Damehood celebrations, calling me Dame Dimwit Jenkins. So this is a friend of 17 years who, yeah, who's even turned. It's just been a crazy campaign. But do you know, do you know something, Dan? It demonstrates, you know, I believe that, I mean, you've been through a tough time. You've come out shining and you're having your best life yet. But you find that in times like this, who your real friends are.
Starting point is 00:25:06 And I'm glad this happened because, you know, I never want to deal with these people again, these toxic people, because while they're fighting among themselves, I'm fighting for the people of Linkershire to get their voice heard. That's what matters. And do you think, Andrea, I'm trying to work out why they've gone so personal with you. Do you think it's because they feel a deep sense of betrayal about the fact that you were previously a conservative?
Starting point is 00:25:32 Or is it because you're out ahead reform representative in power, which is a very different thing because you are going to be able to prove in this job that you can run things more efficiently, more effectively, cheaper than what the Conservatives did. I think it's three elements, actually, Dan. The first one is because I think it's three elements, actually, Dan. The first one is because I think it's like a turf war, because they've had this area, Conservatives, for so long. Lincolnshire's
Starting point is 00:26:12 been a Conservative heartland. So that's number one. Number two, they actually fixed the devolution dealer. The three Conservative council leaders in Lincolnshire, they have formed a deal with the government, which you don't have the same powers as Andy Burnham, the mayor of West Midlands, all these others. You're actually a glorified committee chairman. The council leader has more power. So they've tried to stitch it up to hang on to power. So Lincolnshire is a poor relation, Dan, because they wanted between them the council leader of North Lincolnshire to become the mayor, while the council leader of Lincolnshire County Council is a council leader with the most power. So they're fixing that up. And then the third thing is, yeah, because we're ahead in the polls, they clearly are trying to damage me. And yeah, they don't want a former Tory to succeed in reform because they're probably frightened that more will come over, Dan. far from a straightforward campaign for reform with some of the issues you guys are dealing with self-inflicted and specifically i refer to the rupert low situation he's been shot to the cops for hurty words essentially how bad was that in term because obviously i mean i imagine you have quite a lot of respect for
Starting point is 00:27:46 rupert lowe and also a lot of respect for the leadership a lot of respect for anybody dan who speaks out and says but but i mean i do not recognize what he's saying about reform um i mean clearly i mean i personally think he could have waited until after the local elections to because he's hurting people who he's worked with really um however you know I'm outspoken so but I do not recognize what he says about reform I mean that I've been on the inside and I got far more support um from Nigel and everybody than I ever had in a marginal seat at the time with the Conservatives when I stood against Ed Balls. And he talks about there's no policy, but, you know, my manifesto, we've been working on it together. You know, we've got policies. And so that's, I'm not seeing that. It's so professionalised. I mean, I think they're more of a professional outfit than conservative hq i mean
Starting point is 00:28:45 god i remember in 2017 dan um the the media department um social media department of hq put a social media post out without telling me saying um andrea jenkins um a strong candidate for yoaville i mean i was nowhere nearil. It's the other end of the country. So, but reform, I found them to be so professional. And I've seen democracy within the party because even at council candidates level, they've got, they have got stringent vetting. I mean, we had the Tory councillor who I know wanted to defect,
Starting point is 00:29:20 but he didn't pass the vetting because I think they need quite a strong vetting process because all eyes are watching them but then these CVs etc go to the branch chairman and they do a formal interview process I had to go to a formal interview process twice with with other candidates as well so I mean look is is outspoken Rupert you know I don't, it's outspoken. Rupert, you know, I don't knock anybody who's outspoken, but I do not recognise what he's saying from what I've experienced. What about this suggestion, Andrea, and I certainly feel it, that Nigel is trying to take the party to the centre ground.
Starting point is 00:29:59 So the Conservatives have actually started to capitalise on this. They posted on X, Nigel Farage talks a big game, but when pushed on whether people should be here illegally, should be deported, he says it's impossible to do, it's pointless even going there. And then they use the words weak, weak, weak. The thing is they've been selective, Dan, aren't they? With, you know, with the whole interview, etc.
Starting point is 00:30:29 Look, I came over to reform because of Nigel. You know, this has been outspoken for what, 30, 40 years. And it's, you know, I'm politically aligned with him. And it was a big move for me to go from a party I'd been in decades to come across but I feel more at home now than I ever did in the Conservative Party um it's I'm politically aligned with them and look what Rupert says about Nigel being this big eager he's been so supportive Dan I mean even sort of like that picture there that you've just shown of British steel I wasn't even meant to speak and he said come on Andrea we've got to make sure you speak.
Starting point is 00:31:07 You speak first. So you don't think he's an egomaniac or a snake or any of these terms that are being thrown at him? It's been amazing, actually. It's been amazing. And do you know, while I'm going through all this rubbish, he's been so supportive to me. He really has.
Starting point is 00:31:23 So I'm going on what I'm seeing, Dan. And he isn't going to defend the ground. Because I know that you agree with me on mass deportations. I know that we've had many conversations about this. Nigel seemed to strengthen the party's position last week. But the one area where there's still a little bit of, shall I say, a grey area, Andrea, is what does he mean when he says deport all illegals? Is he talking about the 1.2 million? I personally think that's a conservative figure, by the way.
Starting point is 00:31:55 I think it's actually closer to 2 million. Does he mean the 1.2 million that are already here? Or is he just talking about people who arrive illegally once reformers in power? Because that's a big difference, right? Because my definition of mass deportations is the 2 million who are here illegally have to go. That's what Donald Trump believes mass deportations to mean. Look, all I can go by is and he's serious about um solving this crisis and it is a crisis you know i mean we we hear the word crisis banding about by labor when something's not a crisis don't they don't we but this is a crisis on our country affects every fiber of the country now i know he's serious but i what i'd say
Starting point is 00:32:42 to rupert and all these other people is look we've got to deport people who shouldn't be here. And I mean, I tweeted a few weeks ago, you know, if tents are good enough in France, why are tents not good enough here instead of hotels until we find a way to deport them? But the issue is we need this. A government needs a solid plan. They won't even show the passports. How do you find out where they come from? What country is going to take them? So, you know, on paper, oh, fantastic, deport everyone, but it's a solid plan behind it, which is going to be important,
Starting point is 00:33:20 and it's the extra aspect of coming out of the ECHR so we don't get sued to do it. Now we are working on a solid plan to solve all these issues. I can't say any more at the moment because it's going to be a solid plan. We're working on it at the moment because there's too many hoops to jump through as we saw with the Rwanda bill, with the Conservatives as well. All the lefty lawyers are going to jump on this. It's got to be bomb proof. Yeah and I mean that that posed on ex-Andrea you could not be any more clear you say you we should stop putting illegal migrants in hotels it should be tense then send them back to france we need to make it uncomfortable so that is a strong position
Starting point is 00:33:59 and clearly the party had no problem with you putting forward that position no no no not whatsoever no i mean i've had conversations about this but the key thing for reform is is we are working in the background on the policy to make sure we overcome these challenges because we've seen it the lefty lawyers are going to jump on this it's got to be bomb proof so no i'm i'm very confident do you i mean look you know i'm outspoken dan just like yourself i'm on the perfect show for it you know i love that word and um and i i've always spoke out against some of my parties haven't i and my leaders etc but i know nigel and reform solid on this that's why i came across that's why that's what i need to know can Can I just show you, Nigel, on BBC Breakfast yesterday
Starting point is 00:34:47 and get your response? Labour have been pushing, as your line of candidates, being failed Tories. Well, what a load of rubbish. I mean, I think what the Labour Party found was about 2.5% of our candidates had formerly been Conservative councillors. We also got former Lib Dem councillors and former Labour councillors too.
Starting point is 00:35:10 No, we are not left. We are not right. We are common sense. We're standing up for British values. We feel that, well, both local government and national government is broken in Britain and people want a fresh new voice. And I've never seen a government like this labour government lose popularity so so quickly i see andrew you know i'm a a supporter of nigel too and i have been closed him for many years we spent three years working at gb news together i'm not one of these people where there's any personal issues with nigel right at all yeah my concern andrea is that i actually want a right-wing party you know i i don't view being on the right to tell you what i think you mean by that yeah do you know what i think it means by that look um i mean what i first of all what i found amazing um sorry this phone's
Starting point is 00:36:01 at different angles isn't it what i found amazing about reform, actually being on the doorstep, the ability to pull from Conservative and Labour. I mean, it reminds me a little bit in 2019 after the referendum when we couldn't get Brexit through Parliament and Boris came along and people was coming then to vote for the Conservatives to get Brexit from both parties. And I feel it's like this with reform, actually, because we've seen the shenanigans in Parliament and we are pulling from both. And but what we're pulling, we're not pulling these Starmerites, the Westminster elite. Central London type. What we are pulling is like Thatcher pulled,
Starting point is 00:36:49 you know, Thatcher pulled these who believe in the country, they believe in our armed forces, they want the best for Britain, and they believe in fairness and they want strong crime and policing. It's those kind of things that Thatcher tapped into. And I believe that reform are tapping into too, because really, we are patriots who want the best for our country. We're sick of this woke nonsense. We're sick of the silence in a free speech. We're sick of two-tier policing. And that's the people who's coming over. And, you know, I'm fine with that. Absolutely. And, Andrea, you know, I am not one of those people on the right who is saying, oh, we can't vote for Reform UK. I think absolutely it is essential that a big message is sent to the establishment, especially, by the way, way if you have a candidate like andrea jenkins who i know will put everything into being the greatest mayor for lincolnshire and oh my goodness i really really hope i mean look the polls are
Starting point is 00:37:56 positive andrea but i guess you presumably your final message to voters is take nothing for granted and get out absolutely completely dan i mean what my slogan really is that i'm standing up for that silent majority i want to be their voice well i actually call them the door down and unleash his common sense yeah i call the majority dan if i get in will you come up on Tuesday to where the candidate official becomes mayor? I would love to. I would love to. Maybe we could do the show from there. The show from Lancashire would be great. Absolutely. Well, look, good luck, Andrea. I've got everything crossed for you. I know you've put everything into this and thank you for spelling out just how dirty this campaign has got. Because for me, I think that's the thing
Starting point is 00:38:50 that has been missing from a lot of the mainstream media coverage, because they're just so desperate to pay reform in a bad light at any cost, which means they're not actually looking into some of these despicable smear campaigns. And what's very interesting to me is I'm like, the lawfare that we've seen in the United States of America over the past decade is now here in the United Kingdom. That's pretty terrifying, actually. And you've got to fight back against it. But Andrea, good luck on your last day of campaigning. And we will speak after the result.
Starting point is 00:39:22 Come back on Friday, actually, if you win. That will be great. Will do. Take care. Thank you. And by the way. Come back on Friday, actually, if you win. That will be great. Will do. Take care. Thank you. And by the way, I do just have to stress, Andrea's car is stationary right now, just in case anyone was wondering. She's not driving. She's stationary.
Starting point is 00:39:36 It's totally safe, but she's going to get back onto the campaign trail now. Andrea Jenkins, Dame Andrea Jenkins, the Reform UK candidate for the Lincolnshire mayoralty. Thank you so much. Breaking right now, there is growing outrage over the fact the Irish Republican band NECAP have at this stage received absolutely no penalty for making a very specific death threat against Conservatives and specifically Tory MPs. Remember, we have seen the assassination
Starting point is 00:40:17 in terrorist attacks of the Conservative MP David Amess. This is a very, very serious thing when the UK has a number of political prisoners, Peter Lynch, who died behind bars, Lucy Connolly, the wife of the Conservative Councillor Raymond Connolly, who will be here very shortly, Tommy Robinson, so many others. And there is definitely a two-tier justice system that allows this type of ban, kneecap, to not just be completely safe in a way that others aren't, but be given money from the state and be allowed to headline Glastonbury. Now, I'm a free speech absolutist, by the way. So when it comes to me, I would say, well, no one should go to jail for words. But when I show you these videos, just have a think about the fact that Lucy Connolly remains behind bars
Starting point is 00:41:20 for a post on X, which she apologized for after the Southport Massacre. Watch. now as alex armstrong posted in response to the b News reporting that NECAP apologized to families of two murdered MPs, the others being the Labour MP Joe Cox, as Alex Armstrong wrote, Lucy Connolly apologized too, but she's still in prison. So this is an absolutely disgusting example of two-tier justice, and I am absolutely delighted to have back on Outspoken today Raymond Connolly. Raymond is a Conservative Party councillor in West Northamptonshire. He is running again tomorrow, and we will talk about the lawfare that is being used against him in a very similar way to Reform UK's Andrea Jenkins. Of course, he is also the husband of Lucy Connolly, the wonderful woman who made one mistake, apologized for it, and is in prison for over two years as a result of that social media post. Raymond Connolly, it is so good to have you back on Outspoken.
Starting point is 00:43:09 I know you are currently on the campaign trail and every minute counts, but hopefully we can reach some of your voters here today too. But can I just start by asking you about NECAP? Because there seems to be complete hypocrisy over the fact that they can actually specifically incite violence against Tory employees. That is a very, very specific thing, Raymond. Very, very different to the general post that Lucy made, then deleted, then apologised for. Isn't this just another example of two-tier justice under two-tier care in the two-tier united kingdom yeah well i was a bit surprised to hear them
Starting point is 00:43:55 saying that and but i kind of think to myself i know what these rock bands are like and they um they do say these things quite controversially but i'll just think at this moment in time it's um it's a bit tough for me to take i listen to it i watch the demonstrations on tv i listen to these people and nothing seems to get done for nothing seems to get done about it i suppose there's a police investigation going on and we'll see what happens. Yeah, but we will never forget the fact that Lucy Connolly, your wife, was taken into custody. I mean, absolutely insane.
Starting point is 00:44:36 She wasn't even given the opportunity to fight to clear her name from home. And obviously it's in a situation like that where the deep state and the establishment is almost piling the pressure on to plead guilty, which is, of course, what she did. NECAP are absolutely free to do whatever they want and to take this PR advice, which is to apologize and say, oh, no, we never said what we said, even though we can all see what they said. And it's an interesting one for me, Raymond, because I want to be very clear here, and I'm interested in your view on this too. I'm actually not saying kneecap should be in jail.
Starting point is 00:45:18 Like, I don't think they should. I think they're idiots. I think they're repulsive fools who said something really stupid, but I don't think they should idiots. I think they're repulsive fools who said something really stupid, but I don't think they should be in jail. But if that is where our country is going to be, then Lucy Connolly shouldn't be in jail. Then Julie Sweeney shouldn't be in jail. Then Peter Lynch should never have been in jail. Then Tommy Robinson shouldn't be in jail.
Starting point is 00:45:39 And I am just so sick of what is clearly hypocrisy when it comes to these cases. Yeah, you know, obviously, again, like I see them, and I don't want these kids, because they are just kids. Yes, stupid kids. Yeah, I just feel, I know the knives are going to be out for them because of what's happened with Southport. But obviously, I am mindful of the situation Lucy is in and what she is seeing on the TV and what other people in the prison is telling her. It's a bit unsettling for her but um hopefully um it'll all come good
Starting point is 00:46:27 yeah i really hope so now raymond you were campaigning to continue as a very very popular conservative party councillor in uh north uh west hampt. But of course, you have been subjected to serious lawfare. And this lawfare, what I find particularly despicable about it, has nothing to do with you. It is all connected to your wife. And what it feels like to me, Raymond, is that those in opposition, and we've seen the same thing happen with Andrea Jenkins. I know she's not in your party now, she's in the Reform UK party, but it's a similar thing. What we're seeing is the opposition using code of conduct complaints as a campaigning mechanism to discredit candidates. And these sorts of complaints can be devastating to the recipient because they can take so much time, so much money,
Starting point is 00:47:35 so much energy to deal with when you want to be campaigning. They can be used by the mainstream media to try and smear the name of someone like you, someone like Andrea Jenkins. They are another example of officers, I think, completely running amok. Now, you're not a career politician in any way, are you? You are an ordinary guy who wants to make the area that you live in free of rubbish, flee of fly tipping. You often help people out. Yet this code of conduct complaint against you is still under investigation by West Northamptonshire, and people are going to be shocked by this, Raymond, who are using taxpayers' money, ratepayers' money to channel money to some sort of swanky no doubt very very expensive london law firm to investigate you so can you just clarify what is going on with this investigation are you still
Starting point is 00:48:33 under investigation simply because of the comments you made about your wife yeah um obviously i'm still under investigation There was letters of complaint, anonymous, a lot of them were. The first that I came across where I felt, well, I will say the Labour Party was the MP, when I found to share, I was on the train back from Birmingham, Lucy had just been sentenced. And I was thinking, oh, my God, how am I going to tell my daughter about all this? Obviously, she thinks she would think she's coming home. Then I get a phone call from a journalist. I mean, this is half an hour after sentencing.
Starting point is 00:49:15 I'm saying, would I want to respond to the Labour MP telling me to be removed from politics. So it pretty much gave me a bit more determination to make sure I was going to try and take these people on. But, yeah, I've got... But, Raymond, sorry to interrupt, but this is simply because you defended your wife. No other reason, nothing to do with your conduct as a counsellor or any claims that you've misused money it's nothing like that it is simply because you defended the love of your life your wife
Starting point is 00:49:50 yeah I'm always going to support my family and especially the love of my children always I mean I just thought about it I thought you know and I know it you know I look at Keir Starmery for his own son under the bus to try and dodge out of staying in somebody's house. But that's not me. But I will support Lucy because I do believe in her. And you should. And obviously millions of people now believe in her, and I will get to that shortly.
Starting point is 00:50:19 But it's very difficult, the fact that you are trying to deal with the situation involving your wife, deal with effectively being a single parent at the moment and trying to hold on to your seed with this lawfare going on. Have you been able to campaign and what sort of response are you getting from your constituents in West Northamptonshire? It's quite positive, actually. I've got quite a lot of support. Whether it's enough to get me over the line, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:50:52 I know in my area, we have quite some tough candidates and they're not going to be easily sidelined. They are strong. And hopefully I can beat them. I'm looking forward to a challenge. I've been working really hard to try and get the better of these people and hopefully
Starting point is 00:51:10 in the next few days we'll find out whether I've managed to do that but I've always tried to do my best, especially with the support I have from people saying, do not resign, Raymond. You just carry on all the time.
Starting point is 00:51:26 Yes, because that is what they wanted. That is what they wanted. And this is what the law fair is designed to do. It's designed to make your life unbearable and for them to take you out of the game. What sort of response have you had from the people, from the voters, Raymond, in terms of Lucy? Has anyone been critical or is there overwhelming support, which is what I'm very much picking up now online? People will support me because of the work I do,
Starting point is 00:52:02 because of the commitment I have to the area. They're not fooled by, like we've had groups of councillors turning up into neighbourhoods, like they've been there working all their lives, but they've been getting quickly and well annihilated on social media for putting these posts on. Indeed. Now, look, there has also been a big development in regards to Donald Trump and potential political asylum for those battling free speech in the UK. I want to ask you about this, Raymond Connolly, in just one minute.
Starting point is 00:52:44 So please stand by. Don't go anywhere. Much more to come. Plus, we will be revealing today's greatest Britain and Union jackass. Stay tuned. Get your final votes in right now if you are watching live on YouTube. But first, the reason you're watching this show is that it's becoming increasingly difficult. I mean, look at everything we've been talking about. To trust mainstream media or the so-called fact checkers who claim to determine which facts are true. And for good reason, given the ongoing debates over free speech, the controversy surrounding Brexit and how Trump and other anti-establishment politicians have portrayed. But I have the solution for you today. It's called Ground News, and it's the best way to stay informed and cut
Starting point is 00:53:26 through media bias and manipulative narratives so you can get the facts for yourself. It's been a game changer for a news junkie like me. See for yourself at ground.news.com. But I want to show you this incredible website and app in action. So let's take the recent landmark decision by the UK Supreme Court that ruled that women can only be biological adult human females, reversing years of trans extremism. And you can see clearly in one place that over 350 sources around the world are covering this story. Ground News instantly shows how the story is being covered by the media, broken down by whether it leans left or right, illustrated by its bias distribution chart. If you scroll down,
Starting point is 00:54:05 you can see every headline about the story, along with the political bias and ownership of the publication. So we can see quite clearly for ourselves that on the right, The Daily Wire covered the case very accurately with the headline, I love this headline actually, UK Supreme Court rules trans-identifying men are not women. Spiked Online, oh, I love Spiked Online, they were even more forthright declaring women exist, get over it. And the Daily Telegraph looked in depth at the disgraced famous faces who declared trans women are women. By stark contrast, the left-wing National in Scotland said the result was only a victory for gender-critical feminists. And the ludicrous Canary ran with the clearly insane headline, victory for the far right, as Supreme Court rolls back trans women's rights by two decades.
Starting point is 00:54:51 Far right. I mean, come on, you think JK Rowling's on the far right now, do you? They have lost the plot. My favourite feature, though, is their blind spot feed, which surfaces upwards of 20 stories daily that receive the majority of coverage from one side of the political spectrum. If you love the news like I do, the blindspot feed is the best way to get a balanced perspective on what's happening. So go to ground.news.com or scan the QR code on screen to subscribe today, and you will get 40% off the same Vantage plan that I use for unlimited access. Let me repeat the address, ground.news slash outspoken. But now, back to the show. Breaking right now, there has been an approach to Donald Trump over Lucy Connolly's most despicable jailing for a post on X, as there is growing pressure
Starting point is 00:55:48 for the US administration to grant political asylum for those in the UK jailed for so-called free speech violations. I'm obviously thinking of Lucy, but I'm also thinking of Julie Sweeney, and I'm also thinking of Tommy Robinson. Now, this issue came to the fore during an extraordinary White House briefing this week, where Winston Marshall, the former member of Mumford & Sons, turned independent journalist who was actually on Outspoken to talk about this earlier in the week, put this question to the White House press secretary. In Britain, we have had over a quarter of a million people issued non-crime hate incidents. As we speak, there are people in prison for quite literally reposting memes. We have extensive prison sentences for tweets, social media posts, and general free speech issues.
Starting point is 00:56:55 Would the Trump administration consider political asylum for British citizens in such a situation? Well, to your latter question, it's a very good one. I have not heard that proposed to the president, nor have I spoken to him about that idea. But I certainly can and talk to our national security team and see if it's something the administration would entertain. Yes, please. Raymond Connolly is the Conservative Party councillor whose wife, Lucy Connolly, was despicably jailed. She remains behind bars, still with no access to the outside world, as a result of one post on X. Let me stress, one post on X that she deleted and apologised for in the wake of the Southport massacre, where she was particularly upset given that she lost her child due to NHS neglect in the UK.
Starting point is 00:57:52 Now, Raymond Connolly, I'm told that there has been an approach made on behalf of Lucy to President Trump to see if he could leverage tariffs to put pressure on the UK government to free Lucy Connolly. Do you have any hopes that the American administration might take up her cause? I think, listening to JD Vance, I think that might well be the case. I might use tariffs to leverage free speech and whatever. But I'm hoping they can help. If anybody can help.
Starting point is 00:58:33 It's a struggle at the moment. Any help is good. That's all I can say. And do you know whether, I mean, what would be, if you could give a message to the US administration, to Donald Trump, to J.D. Vance, specifically about Lucy Connolly's situation, what would it be, Raymond?
Starting point is 00:59:10 I'd just like them to put pressure on the British government and to relax this free speech and maybe do a trade tariff deal as well at the same time. I'd certainly be taking that on board if I was Keir Starmer. I know, because I would argue, given your wife is behind bars, I would argue, Raymond, that Keir Starmer was point-blank lying when he told J.D. Vance in the Oval Office. Do you remember that? J.D. Vance directly confronted him in regards to free speech.
Starting point is 00:59:48 Starmer bristled. He was furious about it and said, oh, we've always had free speech. I mean, as a husband of a woman who is in jail because of one solitary post on X, your wife is a good woman. She is a housewife. She is someone who looked after children, by the way, from across the global spectrum. The idea that she's in any way racist, as Alison Pearson quite brilliantly pointed out, and her wonderful feature on this situation for the Daily Telegraph
Starting point is 01:00:19 is for the birds. How did you feel when Starmer claimed that we have no issues with free speech violations in the UK? Do you agree with me that he was lying to the American Vice President? He seems to be pretty good at that but I think J.D. Vance and that team just must have thought,
Starting point is 01:00:39 what is he going on about? You know, have you not... I don't know. I've just thought to myself, you've just got to be joking, if you're coming out with statements like that to the US teams. Yeah, I really hope Trump takes this on. I really do, because free speech matters on so many levels. And I think when Starmer said what he said, when we can actually speak to someone like you who is dealing at the coalface with the reality,
Starting point is 01:01:19 with the brutal reality of what happens when someone is jailed for a post on X, because you know this is something that some conservative commentators say in America, you can actually, or Elon Musk, even, Raymond, can say, oh, you can go to jail in the UK for a post on X. People don't believe you, but it's happened to you. It's turned your life upside down. And Raymond, I wonder if you can talk a little bit about the consequences of that. I mean, for your daughter to no longer have her mum there to help her through such a critical stage, for you, someone who has a number of health issues, to not have your wife there. What has been the personal toll on your family as a result of this Is everything I can? Oh, I think we've just lost.
Starting point is 01:02:13 We will try and get him back. But at that point, I think I really should say that the consequence has obviously been absolutely stark. But it was wonderful to see after Alison Pearson's article, a whole load of people who maybe had some concerns touching this case in the past, actually realising quite how shocking it was, and speaking out. Liz Truss, for example, and also Darren Grimes. Let me just read out what Darren had to say about this. Lucy is a victim of two-tier justice. Labour councillor Ricky Jones is on bail after saying we need to cut their throats and get rid of them. Lucy Connolly was fast-tracked through the system and sentenced by a judge, withering on about diversity and inclusion to serve 31 months in prison. Now Lucy is being denied the home leave that is granted of prisoners who have committed
Starting point is 01:03:10 far graver crimes. They are making an example of her and destroying the life of her husband with bone marrow failure and daughter who's struggling at school. Raymond Connolly, great to have you back. Sorry, we just lost you briefly there. Is it true that Lucy has almost been punished as a result of this brilliant article by Alison Pearson going viral in the Daily Telegraph and putting a whole load of attention back, I guess, on her cause, her case? That's right, I wanted to get this cleared up because I wanted my daughter to look at this in years to come and get the facts in order, not what the press has sensationalised things over. The police had missed out a lot of the sentencing and changed it a little bit just to make it more well made it more incendiary for Lucy in prison it did obviously but um she had a few run-ins um with comments but um um I try to do my best with her daughter um she's I'll be honest she is struggling um there's a lot i don't tell her um and i try to keep um lucy in control if any if lucy if she wants to do something i say we have to check with your mum just that sort of thing so her mum's not getting a detachment um my concern is uh um on her release
Starting point is 01:04:47 date they will probably might not let her here that's what i'm thinking and i think it is worth raymond just talking about some of that support that high level support that lucy has now received kemienoch, leader of the opposition, leader of your party, Raymond, so I imagine this made your heart sore. Having reviewed the background of Lucy Connolly's case, her denial of release on temporary license appears unjust. ROTL is not a grand privilege. It's a modest allowance for two to three nights at home per month. Lucy has been unfairly treated and it's time to acknowledge this. Lawrence Fox, her child was murdered by the state. Her state of mind was murdered by the state. The state took her child from her. The state is your enemy. Free Lucy.
Starting point is 01:05:42 Liz Truss, the former Prime Minister, Lucy Connolly should be released immediately and reunited with her family. The severity of her sentence is completely unjustifiable and a shocking example of two-tier justice which now prevails in Britain. And Richard Tice, the Deputy Leader of Reform UK, Lucy Connolly is the victim of Starmer's two-tier justice. She should be freed. Violent criminals have served less time than her. And Raymond Connolly, good luck in the election tomorrow. I'm so delighted that you didn't back down, that you stood again, because we have to stand up against the establishment when they try and cancel us. No, definitely, definitely. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:06:30 And I really, really hope you do well tomorrow because you've been a great local councillor, Raymond Connolly. Thank you so much. And I think it is absolutely despicable, and we should be ashamed as Brits that the only hope we now have is for the President and the Vice President of the United States of America, Donald Trump and J.D. Vance to come and save us. And don't be wrong, we do need that that but why are we not raising up why are we not rising up sorry about the fact that you can literally now be jailed in this country for a post on facebook
Starting point is 01:07:17 for something you say on x or in the case of tommy Robinson, because remember all of this ends up coming back to Tommy Robinson, a film that is a piece of independent journalism that the deep state might disagree with. Free speech is everything. It is completely fundamental to our society. And that is why even though I find what kneecap said totally disgraceful, it is clearly a very specific incitement to violence, given they are calling on the death, the killing of Tory MPs. Even though I do feel that, I'm not calling for them to be jailed, but I am calling for Lucy Connolly to be released. I am calling for Julie Sweeney to be released. And most importantly, I am calling for Tommy Robinson to be released. And while those three people, I know there are
Starting point is 01:08:16 many more, but you know, these are the three cases that I've spoken about a lot on this show, and I'm very passionate about. And while they remain behind bars, there is no justice in the United Kingdom and that should concern everyone. Oh, thank you so much. I get so passionate about this topic for very obvious reasons, but thank you for your comments throughout the show today. And obviously a lot of debate over reform UK. By the way, for anyone who says, oh, you're so anti-reform, Dan, okay, what was that interview with Andrea Jenkins about?
Starting point is 01:08:55 Come on, I'm not anti-reform. I will give both sides of this argument a platform. That is what I believe independent journalists do. I'm not going to be like GB News and ban Rupert Lowe. How pathetic is that? Anyway, JJ Sassy writes, this is not about people or principles. We need to save our country. Reform are not perfect, but they are all we have got at this moment in time. So JJ, sort of along the Katie Hopkins line of things. X Leander said, we really don't need any Tory career politicians. Yes, Andrea should have left the Tories, but she is still Tory-lite. We need free radicals like Rupert and those who believe
Starting point is 01:09:29 what they say. Genuinely, I know Andrea so well, and she is on the right side of this argument. Trust me. I think there's a lot more that she will say in the future. Tabitha said I will vote reform, but I will wait and hope for a Christian party in four years' time. I don't trust Zia. I certainly don't trust Zia either. And from Ariella, it's Farage with Zia, not reform. That is the problem. Vetting is far too strong. I recognize everything Rupert says. Ariella, I couldn't agree with you anymore. The vetting is ridiculous. The vetting is a scandal. I've called it out, but who else has? None of those independent commentators want to call it out because they're too worried about offending Reform UK. That's not what I'm in the business of. I'm in the business of telling the
Starting point is 01:10:17 truth. Okay, Greatest Britain Union Jackass Time, a reminder of your nominees. Dr Victoria McLeod, nominated by It's Only Me 44, the transgender judge for taking the government to the European Court of Human Rights over the Supreme Court ruling that trans women are not legally women. Honestly, I get so confused by this. I'd like, I have no idea. Is Victoria? Anyway, do you know what?
Starting point is 01:10:41 Ludicrous. That's what I'm going to say. Actually, that's what I'm going to say on that one. Ed Miliband, nominated by IQ Milo for thinking he can dim the sun to the same level of his intelligence. And that is the result of this absolutely bonkers plan in place. And Kalia Denia, nominated by XXWomenXX of the Lunatic Green Party. She's the leader, of course, and that is because the Green Party has called for withdrawal of ill-considered EHRC trans single sex basis guidelines. And we know she is just wrong on absolutely everything.
Starting point is 01:11:22 Although, despite that, she only received 4% of your vote. The runner-up is Victoria McLeod because she wants, or the person wants to undo the trans ruling. And the winner, with a whopping 77% of the vote, Ed Miliband. And we all know why. He's the most dangerous man in the country. Greatest Britain time now.
Starting point is 01:11:42 I absolutely loved this nomination from Becca Thorne. Princess Catherine and Prince William on their 14th anniversary. They have done so much for the country and the world. They show us every day what real love is and what marriage is about. Congratulations on their wedding anniversary. And actually, oh my goodness, don't go anywhere. Lady Colin Campbell is on standby at www.outspoken.life. That is my sub stack. We have so much to unleash her on today, but including this, I'm actually going to call it psychopathic. It's sort of sick. It's sort of psychopathic behavior by Meghan Markle. So you will have seen Catherine went out dressed. There she is in those lovely skinny jeans in Scotland. And lo and behold, overnight, brand new Meghan Markle video on Instagram.
Starting point is 01:12:34 There it is, where she is cosplaying Catherine, the Princess of Wales. Psychopathic, sick. But you don't want to hear from me on this. You want to hear from Lady Colin Campbell, because it is always is always informed sharp and let's be honest utterly hilarious so sign up right now www.outspoken.live so at this stage we come off youtube and rumble we move to substack to continue the conversation the uncancelled after show but we are back live midday uk time sorry 5 p.m uk time midday eastern 9 a.m pacific hit subscribe if you're watching right now on youtube and rumble and most importantly i promise to keep fighting for you
