Nigel Farage's four-word warning to Labour after incredible Reform UK victory
Nigel Farage has warned Labour that Reform UK will be targeting its seats at the next election.
Nigel Farage issued Labour a four-word warning as he swept to victory in the General Election, telling supporters in Clacton-on-Sea Reform UK will now target Sir Keir Starmer's party.
Mr Farage warned 'we're coming for Labour' as he snatched the seat in Essex from the Conservatives, with 21,225 votes compared to the Tory candidate Giles Watling's 12,820.
In his victory speech, Mr Farage said: "The belief Westminster is just completely out of touch with ordinary people says to me my plan is to build a mass national movement over the course of the next few years, and hopefully be big enough to challenge the general election properly in 2029.
"What is interesting is there's no enthusiasm for Labour. There's no enthusiasm for Starmer whatsoever. In fact, about half of the vote is simply an anti-Conservative vote.
"This Labour government will be in trouble very, very quickly and we will now be targeting Labour votes. We're coming for Labour be in no doubt about that."

Reform UK looked set to win 13 seats, according to the exit poll the results of which were published shortly after polls closed at 10pm on Thursday (July 4). A later analysis from the BBC put Reform on four seats.
Mr Farage's result came after Lee Anderson won Ashfield, becoming Reform's first MP since the party was established in 2018.
It was Mr Farage's eigth attempt to enter the House of Commons after he initially ruled himself out of running in the General Election.
He has previously detailed his ambition to become prime minister, vowing to take his party into power at the next election due in 2029.
