00:00I think people will be much more worried about a political party, the Labour Party, acting like gangsters, trying to
00:07shut down democracy in this country.
00:10That is what we should be all worried about. Remember, this is the same Labour Party that attempted to cancel
00:15the local elections for five million people.
00:18Reform had to take them to court and they backed down because it was illegal.
00:22It's the same Labour Party that tried to abolish dozens of local councils across the country.
00:26Reform took them to court. They backed down because it was almost certainly illegal.
00:31And now they're trying to use retrospective legislation, something we don't do often in this country, to make it difficult,
00:39maybe even impossible, for Brits to donate to reform.
00:43This is a dark path where a Labour government is trying to cling on to power because they think they
00:49cannot defeat Nigel Farage and reform at the ballot box.
00:52Well, reform's not going anywhere. Nigel's not going anywhere. We're not going to back down.
00:57The country is in a mess. We need to win the next general election and we're going to fight Labour
01:02every step of the way.
