00:00Well I'm allowed to come to America on a trip like this, particularly in these circumstances.
00:03I mean I had planned to come originally to America and to be here for a few months
00:08and I made a decision, no I'm going to run for Clacton,
00:12but given the circumstances it was right that I came.
00:14Because at one point you said you wouldn't be running in Clacton
00:18because you wanted to give your time to the US, but now you are the new Clacton MP
00:24but are here in the US just, what, two weeks after getting elected?
00:29Because this feels more exciting?
00:31No I'm just here for a couple of days, that's it, that's it, I'll be back at the weekend.
