Hello and welcome to not another one, the podcast with me, Steve Richards, Tim Montgomery, Miranda Green and Ian Martin.

Ian isn't with us, actually. He might pop in. We're not sure. You never know.

But we're certainly here altogether in the studio and absolutely tons to talk about. It's been a

week where Rachel Reeves have been talking about public spending. We've had this massively ambitious house building

target fleshed out of one and a half million houses by the election. And all kind of the Syria as

word, if we can get into it. It's been a packed, packed week. Before, Tim, your week has been packed

as well. I mean, you've done how many interviews on your dramatic defection to reform?

It's certainly over 50 now.

Incredible.

And I've generally surprised, actually, how much interest there has been.

And I think it's more about interest in reform than interest in me.

It's, there is something, I generally think, I would say this perhaps, wouldn't I, but It's there is something I generally think I would say this

perhaps wouldn't I but I think there is generally something happening out there. I think it's it's

as much a disillusionment with the two mainstream parties as it is with wanting reform, although

some people who have a committee to reform are very serious about it.

But the momentum, the members are coming in quickly to reform, donors, they're raising a lot of money.

So something is happening.

But I think when you've been introduced at times, you were saying, you know, the founder of

Conservative Home, this is a significant moment.

I mean, without kind of feeding your ego, do you sense, I don't mind?

Do you sense you are representative of a section of the Tory party?

Yeah.
