'Winning a TRIC Award against the biggest names in broadcasting made me very proud indeed - thank you'

There's no reason why I can't be here with you on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings, and I will do my best to do so

I have to tell you, the last time I broadcasted, I had no idea that I was going to stand in the General Election.

I wasn't going to, but I don't know what it was, something persuaded me, that I just ought to do something.

But there's no reason why I can't be here with you on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings. And I will do my best to do so.

Over the last few weeks, one thing that did happen were the TRIC Awards. And guess what?

For the second year in a row, I've won News Presenter of the year. And if you look at the footage, you can see me going up onto the stage, collecting the prize, only to receive the boos of most of the audience.

These, of course, are the woke mainstream media broadcasting brigade on both television and radio.

Well, I don't mind being booed. I had 20 years of that in the European Parliament, and I've no doubt I'll get some of it in Westminster too.

But really, they weren't booing me. They were booing you, because they think you're stupid, but you're not.

Thank you very much indeed. To win that for a second year in a row against the biggest names in news broadcasting really made me very, very proud indeed. Thank you.
