Reform Uk have made a breakthrough in the general election with Richard Tice winning in Boston and Skegness.

He'll join others from the party who won their seats including Nigel Farage and Lee Anderson.

Mr Tice secured the seat with a majority of just over 2 thousand.

In second place was Conservative Matt Warman who'd previously been the MP there.

Tice deliberately chose Boston and Skegness because of its strong backing for Brexit in the referendum.

He was the party leader before the recent switch which saw him step aside in favour of Nigel Farage.

He's said results across the country are "truly remarkable" and described their success as a people's revolt.

Last night he said he felt Britain was broken and only Reform UK could address the key issues facing the country.

He said that Reform UK can provide the change which is needed.
