Inside the hall, the 4,000 members get to their feet as Nige takes his place in the front row, surrounded by minders and snappers. A chant of Nigel, Nigel bounces off the walls. It's a curious mix of a Billy Graham revivalist meeting and a Nuremberg rally.
The queue for Reform snakes back 100 yards from the entrance more than an hour before the start. Fair to say neither Labour nor the Tories will get a crowd this big for their conferences.
