Nigel Farage and Lee Anderson get to Parliament and warn 'the fox is in the henhouse'

Nigel Farage, Lee Anderson and Reform’s three other MPs came to Parliament with a warning that “the fox is in the henhouse”.

Ashfield MP Mr Anderson, who defected from the Tories in the last Parliament and was re-elected for the East Midlands’ constituency, put out the message as the Reformers posed in the Great Hall.

Reform won five seats in the July 4 election. But this was less than the 13 predicted by the exit poll.

Mr Farage, who did a U-turn to become Reform leader rather than go and campaign for Donald Trump in America, won in Clacton.

He became an MP at his eighth attempt.
