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. BBC Politics' upload of the interview recorded at Reform UK's conference for Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg (about 15 minutes of captions), from the first question to his last answer; the reporter's opening package and the closing thanks are left out. The captions run the two voices together in places, so short fragments are assigned by meaning, not by the '>>' marks (for example "told" before "sending money to UK", "Yeah, that's right.", "in that way." and "I did." are given to Nigel Farage; "Dan Wootton" and "Never happened." are given to Laura Kuenssberg; an unclear "questions" stays inside her question about the £5 million gift). Caption errors such as "Dan Wootton" (the aide is Dan Jukes) and "Kier" are kept as published. Trimmed: starts at "Nigel Farage, thank you for speaking to us this weekend."; ends at "and you know, I'm ready for it.".
