00:00Farage, Nigel, Paul, Reform UK, £21,225.

00:17We will now be targeting Labour votes. We're coming for Labour, be in no doubt about that.

00:24Believe me, folks, this is just the first step of something that is going to stun all

00:31of you. Thank you very much.

00:34What do you think about Lee Anderson?

00:39Lee Anderson. Do you know what? Lee Anderson has won because he had the courage to jump

00:44to reform. There are many Conservative MPs who tonight will lose their seats because

00:48they lack that courage. And the really big message is this. Geographically now in most

00:53of the country, a vote for the Conservatives actually splits our vote and is a vote for

00:57Labour. The argument they've used against us can never be used again.

01:01I do hereby declare that Lee Anderson is duly elected.

01:10Thank you. First of all, a massive thank you to all the staff that's been here tonight

01:25helping. They've worked incredibly hard and all the people who've worked throughout this

01:29election campaign. Special thanks to the Ashore District Council. But the biggest thanks of

01:34the night goes to my wonderful team over there who have stood by my side and watched me being

01:39grumpy over the past six weeks. They've been fantastic and I could not have done it without

01:45them. I stood in this town, my hometown, four and a half years ago as a Conservative candidate

01:51that I won. And I won comfortably. And the people of Ashfield backed me. And they now

01:56backed me again as a reform candidate for Ashfield. I said a few weeks back that there

02:00was going to be a reckoning on election night and Ashfield, which is the capital of common

02:05sense, they have bought that reckoning. Now, this wonderful place which I call my home

02:10is going to have a massive say in how this country is shaped in the future. I want my

02:15country back and Ashfield can play their part in that. Thank you.
