Reform UK saw a surge in votes in the general election winning four seats across the country so far.

The party, which is led by Nigel Farage and was formed in 2018, has managed to secure their first MPs at the ballot box.

The party had an early boost after the exit poll for the BBC, Sky and ITV predicted that the party could win 13 seats – higher than predictions by most polls. And in several early constituencies they took second place, pushing the Tories into third before victories for former Tory Lee Anderson and Mr Farage.

Speaking after his victory in Clacton, Mr Farage said: "It shows that there is a level of disenchantment with politics. I think people are looking for something different.

"But, and here’s the important thing, this is not a protest vote. They’re not saying two fingers up to the establishment. They’re saying, ‘you know what, we really agree with what these guys are saying, we really agree with what they’re saying about tax levels, we agree with what they say about levels of legal net migration’.

“I promise you the enthusiasm of people voting Reform UK is truly extraordinary.”

Here are all the seats Reform UK has won across the UK:

Nigel Farage: Clacton
Lee Anderson: Ashfield
Richard Tice: Boston and Skegness
Rupert Lowe: Great Yarmouth
James McMurdock: Basildon South and East Thurroc

Will the Starmers be the first prime ministerial family since the Wilsons not to live in Downing Street?
The move to Downing Street is a symbolic moment for any incoming prime minister, the most obvious proof of your drastically changed situation. You do not merely run the shop, as Mrs Thatcher said, you live above it. Downing Street is one of the most prestigious political residences on Earth, perhaps second only to the White House. For five years, barring calamity, it is yours, for you to decorate with all the golden Lulu Lytle wallpaper you like.

Keir Starmer campaigned as changed Labour, and now he will govern as New Labour. It’s not difficult to imagine the consternation felt by Starmer’s critics on the Left at the news that some of the big beasts from the eras of Tony Blair and Gordon Brown are making a comeback. Most significant is the return of Alan Milburn, Blair’s health secretary, who will advise his successor, Wes Streeting, on reform of the NHS.
