As the “famous five” posed for photos at the Palace of Westminster, Tory defector Lee Anderson warned: “The fox is in the henhouse.”

Last night, Farage said his party had “more than doubled its membership in the last five weeks”.

The Clacton MP urged his fans to “come and join the riot”.

It came as the party reacted to accusations that some of its election candidates were “fake” artificial intelligence bots.

The Liberal Democrats challenged Reform to prove that their candidates were all real people because their biographies on the party website lacked detail.

Responding to the conspiracy, party chairman Richard Tice criticized: “It is a completely fabricated lie that is nothing short of defamatory, slanderous and utterly outrageous.

“We have proven this to people like them and the Guardian and yet they print this utter rubbish as rubbish.

“I’m furious about this.”

Today will begin the official swearing-in of the United Kingdom’s newly elected MPs.

The process will take place three days before the start of the normal parliamentary calendar.

Rishi Sunak is expected to speak for the first time since his crushing defeat.

Both he and PM Sir Keir Starmer will speak at the dispatch box to congratulate Sir Lindsay Hoyle on being re-elected as Speaker of the Commons.
