Final day of conference - and the energy has been amazing.

And we're ready.

A friend and ally of Nigel Farage, who in 2016 called him:

Reform UK, which has a grand total of four MPs, was just given an uninterrupted platform for an hour and a half on the BBC and Sky News channels, in order to talk about its plans for mass deportations
