Hello, it's Beth Rigby from Sky News here. I want to tell you about our podcast,

electoral dysfunction. She has to be able to prove that she can both run the party and cut

through as a national politician. The lights are flashing amber here. Sometimes you can go in when

you're very upset and you get into your professional mode and you style it out. There was a whole

daddy thing going on at NATO as well. Stop seeing more daddy about Trump.

Join us for electoral dysfunction every week wherever you get your podcasts.

That was good, wasn't it?

Yeah, I enjoyed that.

The New Statesman.

On Friday, while Kier Stama attempted to hold his government together in an emergency reshuffle,

his likely opponent in the next election held his own shiny floor show.

He had smoke machines, pirate techniques, glitzy costumes, tearful audiences

and singing politicians. But this wasn't the US known for these kind of theatrics, but Birmingham,

where the Reform Party Conference had it all. I'm Hannah Barnes and this is the New Statesman

podcast. The Reform Conference was dazzling and baffling in equal measure,

attendees say. But among the positively Trumpian Rasmataz, there were some serious warning shots

fired at the Labour government and telling indicators of how reform see their own chances in the next general election.

As you'd expect, the new statesman's Will Lloyd and Nicholas Harris were there,

and they're joined me now.

Hello, gentlemen.

Hello, Hannah.

Hello.
