"Nigel Farage is a damn good performer", Alastair Stewart has claimed as the Reform UK leader prepares to give Keir Starmer a headache in the House of Commons.
Farage has been elected as the MP for Clacton, ending his election hoodoo at the eighth attempt.
The Brexit stalwart, who received 46.2 per cent of the vote, was joined by three other successful Reform UK candidates.
Speaking about Farage's victory, GB News host Bev Turner said: "You see, what Farage can do now is be a thorn in the side of Sir Keir Starmer.

Legendary broadcaster Alastair Stewart agreed and added: "A crucial point on Parliament, which again we've all observed for many years and I've always felt it very strongly, is you've got to be a good performer in that chamber.

"We know from the European Parliament is that actually, Nigel is a damn good performer on his hind legs. And we know from PMQs week after week that Keir isn't."
Pollster Matt Goodwin added: "What's happened is Farage has inherited the post-Brexit realignment. He's inheriting it from the Conservatives. That's what's happening.
"I don't really think lockdown was too relevant here, but I think mainly this is about immigration legal and illegal.
"And it's a sense that people are very, very frustrated with this kind of Westminster politics and what's been going on in and around the country."

Farage used his victory speech to warn Labour about what could happen next.
After overturning a 24,702 Tory majority to win by 8,405, Farage said: "There is a massive gap on the centre-right of British politics and my job is to fill it."
Taking aim at Labour, the Reform UK leader warned: "What is interesting is, there's no enthusiasm for Labour, there's no enthusiasm for [Keir] Starmer whatsoever.
"In fact, about half of the vote is simply an anti-Conservative vote. We're coming for Labour, be in no doubt about that."

PAHe added: "It's four weeks and three days since I decided to come out of retirement and throw my hat in the ring.
"I think what Reform UK has achieved, in those just few short weeks, is truly extraordinary.
"Given that we had no money, no branch structure, virtually no nothing across the country, we are going to come second in hundreds of constituencies.
"How many seats we are going to win? I don't know. But to have done this in such a short space of time says something very fundamental is happening."
