Nigel is going nowhere and would lead the party into the next general election.

More affordable housing is absolutely vital in areas like theirs.

We will be talking about hope, optimism, and how to create some growth as we start to rebuild Britain.

We had to be honest with people and say the council is effectively bust.

The failure then was they didn't reinvest the proceeds into building more affordable homes.

Marriage is a great thing, and in a sense, when people get married, we all hope that it’s going to be for life.

Sometimes it is, and sometimes it doesn’t work out, but I don’t think it’s wrong to be ambitious and to promote marriage.

We're saying that the first people we should be looking after are young, British workers - under 35, young British married couples, young British veterans - who have done the right thing.

This comes down to fairness.

It is time to get Britain building. It is time for someone who understands how housing works to take charge.

It's not fair that young British working families can't get on the housing ladder when overseas nationals have come to the UK and, because of the current rules based on need rather than suitability, they have jumped ahead in the queue.

Yes, that is the preference… Well, because actually families are a good thing. Having British children, British-born children is a good thing. We need to encourage that.

It is time for us to prioritise young British workers, and that is what our policy is about.

In an ideal world, it is well known that married couples – children in married couples, for example – will do really well at school. And we want to encourage that.

Families are a good thing. Having British children, British-born children is a good thing. We need to encourage that.

It is not fair that young British working families, couples, individuals, veterans can’t get on the housing ladder when overseas nationals have come to the UK and in a sense because of the current rules, based on need rather than…

I can't think of another country where you rock up with a family and you expect the local taxpayer in that country to pay for your housing needs.

When it’s a bit warm, let’s enjoy it.

We’re not afraid of competition, voters have got more choice and none of us have ever claimed we are perfect … we get lots right, we make mistakes, we push on.

Far from it … we get more scrutiny than everybody else. But isn’t it interesting, Nigel’s success in Clacton, getting a thousand more votes than he secured (previously), despite a much, much lower turnout.

With regard to other matters, Tim, and things, we’re a fast-growing political party. There’ll be a range of views, and sometimes we’ll agree, and sometimes we’ll have a debate and discussion.

We are a fast-growing political party. There will be a range of views and sometimes we will agree and sometimes we will have a debate and discussion … but what we’ve always said is that when you’re having your discussions about those…

Climate change has always happened, it always will. Maybe the smarter thing to do is to adapt to it, (rather) than think arrogantly you can stop it.

“When it’s a bit warm, let’s enjoy it. And if it means that English wine and sparkling wine gets better and better, fantastic,” he said. “That means we can take on the French — fantastic.”
