Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has won a seat in the House of Commons for the first time, declaring “something very fundamental” was happening as his party made gains across the country.

Addressing the audience in the counting hall in Clacton, Essex, Farage said he was looking to fill a “massive gap on the centre-right of British politics”, adding he is “targeting” Labour supporters.

Earlier in the evening, Lee Anderson has become the first elected Reform UK MP, as the exit poll suggested the party is set to win 13 seats. Anderson defected to Reform UK from the Conservatives in March after he lost the whip.
