Note on record

Transcript from the video's captions, fetched on 2026-10-09; not an official record. Captions do not say who is speaking: Polifiles assigned each turn by reading the captions, without checking the audio. ITV News' upload of the interview recorded at Reform UK's conference in Birmingham (17 minutes), from the first question to his last answer; the teaser clips at the start of the upload and the closing thanks are left out. The interviewer is not named in the video description or in the captions, so the turns are attributed to "ITV News interviewer". The captions run the two voices together in places, so short fragments are assigned by meaning, not by the '>>' marks (for example "That Reform is being Well, look, there is a" is given to Nigel Farage and "you're being investigated No, there's one police investigation..." to the interviewer; "Oh, come on." and "[laughter]" stay with the interviewer; in the final exchange "Have we seen peak before?" is the interviewer's question and his answer starts at "The bottom bounce is much smaller"). Caption errors in names (such as "Dan Duke", "James Or", "Ziya Usaf" and "John Heaton") are kept as published. Trimmed: starts at "Nigel Farage, you've had 5 years creating Reform UK."; ends at "Most prominent people saying things that the vast majority of people in Britain would find repulsive.".
