UK General Election 2024

Nigel Farage has promised to "change politics forever" after his Reform UK party won more than four million votes, propelling him into Parliament for the first time.
Reform UK has won five seats in the House of Commons, with a 14.3% share of the vote.
Mr Farage overturned a Conservative majority of more than 25,000 to comfortably win in Clacton, Essex - a race which marked his eighth attempt to enter the Commons.
The election was the first step in a “mass movement across the country” that would "change politics for ever”, he told supporters.

Farage promised to now use his platform in Parliament and "work with anyone" to achieve his long-time aim of scrapping the First Past the Post Electoral system - highlighting the party's 14% vote share that yielded just five MPs.
"Above all what we're going to do from today is we're going to professionalise the party, we're going to democratise the party and those few bad apples that have crept in will be gone, will be long gone, and we will never have any of their type back in our organisation," he said.
Mr Farage denied he would join any pact with the Tories, saying he would prefer to "let the Conservative Party tear themselves apart".
"We're going to focus on going after the Labour vote" instead, he said.
