Hecklers interrupt Nigel Farage as he gives first speech since historic election

Nigel Farage has been interrupted by several hecklers as he attempted to hold his first media conference since he was elected to parliament.

The Reform UK leader, whose party won the seat of Clacton and three other seats, confronted a series of hecklers, one of whom he accused of being “absolutely steaming”.

The party leader, who failed in his seven previous attempts to enter parliament, will represent the Essex seat of Clacton after winning a majority of nearly 10,000.

It also defeated the Conservatives in Great Yarmouth and Boston and Skegness.
