| 0:00.0 | Okay, I'm going to try and contain my anger here. I've just come back from Conservative Party |
| 0:05.2 | conference. We spent the day yesterday interviewing Tories. We ran after the Prime Minister and |
| 0:10.0 | his senior colleagues and spoke to the likes of Nigel Farage whose ideology has taken over the |
| 0:15.1 | Conservative's wholesale. That video will be out on Wednesday and I think you won't want to miss |
| 0:21.1 | it. Now, I want to talk principally about Serella Bravoman, the Home Secretary and the descent |
| 0:26.0 | of the Conservatives in general, into far-right conspiratorial poison. Now, Bravoman has already |

| 0:36.8 | to Western civilization and bemoaning the number of children born to foreign-born mothers. |

| 1:28.5 | Our country has become enmeshed in a dense net of international rules that were designed for |
| 1:35.9 | another era. And it is labour that turbocharged their impact by passing the misnamed Human Rights Act. |
| 1:45.6 | I'm surprised they didn't call it the Criminal Rights Act. |
| 1:54.8 | Now, it's striking actually that she denounces the left for criticising the racism of Winston |
| 2:00.8 | Churchill, who she describes as our greatest ever leader. But if we're going to be strictly |
| 2:04.8 | accurate, the basis of the European Convention on Human Rights, which forms the basis |
