NIGEL Farage was heckled during his first speech as an MP – with protesters shouting “you don’t represent the working class”.
The reformist leader repeatedly shouted “boring” as more questioners stood up – before asking if there was “more” as the group was led away.

Farage was due to give his first public speech this afternoon in London after winning a seat in his eighth attempt at government.
But when he started to speak, a group of seven people started harassing him.
After a historic election night:
- Keir Starmer became Britain’s next prime minister after Labor won 412 seats amid a brutal purge of the Conservatives.
- He promised to lead a Labor Party based on “public service” in his first speech as prime minister to a jubilant crowd in Number 10.
- Sir Keir will now name his cabinet as he moves forward with his plan for change.
- Rishi Sunak earlier conceded defeat on the steps of Downing Street and apologized to the nation for his party’s failures.
- Tory big guns, including former Prime Minister Liz Truss and former Defense Secretary Grant Shapps, lost seats after a nightmarish night for the Tories.
- He was followed by Leader of the House Penny Mordaunt, one of eight ministers who lost their seats
- Nigel Farage’s Reform party won an unprecedented four seats as it won votes from the Conservatives.
- Conservative defector Lee Anderson claimed the first Reform seat, followed by Farage, Richard Tice and Rupert Lowe.
- Sir Keir’s predecessor Jeremy Corbyn, now independent, also retained Islington North
- All eyes are now on our new Prime Minister, with Piers Morgan saying on our election show Never Mind The Ballots that Sir Keir MUST deliver real change after the Tory debacle
One man could be seen pointing at Farage while shouting: “You don’t represent the working class.”
A small group quickly surrounded the man and began to guide him out.
But the questioner was not alone.
As the screaming man was dragged from the hall, Farage faced more protests.
The newly-elected MP quipped: “This is good preparation for the House of Commons, I suppose, isn’t it? It will be very lively there.”
As a woman screamed, Farage added: “Oh, really cheer up, please love, I’m so sorry.”
He shouted “bye, darling” when it was removed.
Farage added: “More for more?”
After a pause, a man shouted, “Actually, yes.”
Farage added: “We haven’t organized this very well, have we?”
Seven protesters ended up being dragged from the scene.
Once the group was gone, Farage said he would “professionalise” and “democratise” the party.
He then addressed the protesters again: “Those few bad apples that emerged will be long gone and we will never have anyone like that back in our organization.”
Comment – Farage will attack Westminster
By Trevor Kavanagh
This could be the beginning of a revolution – of which we still don’t have a complete idea of what’s to come. It is the total eclipse of the Conservative Party.
The big question is who will become Conservative leader now?
The other question is what does Nigel Farage do with this genuine platform that he has now built in Parliament and will implement?
He will use this to the fullest to leverage his position.
And with Farage having the charisma he does, I think he will eclipse whoever becomes the next Conservative leader.
I think we are facing a parliament in which Nigel Farage will attack violently.
Farage, as an MEP, really lit the fire in Brussels and that is what he will do in Parliament.
Nigel Farage can no longer hide – he must FINALLY be held to account, says Piers Morgan
Piers Morgan says the election was a disaster for the Tories, but now the pressure is on Sir Keir Starmer to deliver on his promises after turning around the Labor Party.
The exit poll predicts that the opposition leader will arrive at Downing Street with a majority of 170 seats, surpassing even Tony Blair’s defeat in 1997.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is headed for a historic hammering.
Sun political editor Harry Cole hosted a star-studded panel of experts – including Morgan – live from our London Bridge headquarters for instant reaction as voting closed at 10pm.
Morgan said Starmer had elevated his party from “unelectable” under previous leader Jeremy Corbyn to about to hand the Conservatives their worst defeat in more than a century.
He said, “It’s an earthquake. This is a political and social earthquake for this country, the likes of which I have never seen in my lifetime.
“I think, firstly, we have to congratulate Keir Starmer, who has taken the party from being completely unelectable under Jeremy Corbyn to becoming a party with this gigantic majority.
“It is clear that there is now enormous pressure on him to live up to the faith that the electorate has shown him.
“A disaster for the Conservative Party that cannot be underestimated. Either way, it’s a seismic night.”
Reform leader Farage was elected in Clacton, winning a UK parliamentary seat on his eighth attempt.
He won a resounding victory on a devastating night for the Conservatives.
The reform has so far secured four seats – falling short of the 13 predicted in exit polls.
But Brexit campaigner Farage – who has promised to lead a political revolution – hailed his fledgling party’s “truly extraordinary” results.
Reformist President Richard Tice and defector Lee Anderson also won their electoral districts with conservative gains.
We didn’t organize this very well, did we?
Nigel Farage
Speaking after winning an 8,000-vote majority, he said: “What’s interesting is there’s no enthusiasm for Labour.
“There is no enthusiasm for Starmer. In fact, about half the vote is simply an anti-Tory vote.”
Congratulations arrived from all over the world.
Former US President Trump said: “Congratulations to Nigel Farage on his big victory of a seat in Parliament amid the electoral success of reform in the UK.
Posting on Twitter, Trump added: “Nigel is a man who truly loves his country! DJT”
