One of the biggest surprises of Britain's election night so far has been the gains seen by the right-wing Reform UK party, which is forecast to win numerous parliamentary seats and has logged a strong showing in early results.
Early results also pointed toward strong gains.
Six constituencies had been called as of 1 a.m. London time, with Reform in second place with 23.8% of the vote.
In a video posted on X titled: "The revolt against the establishment is underway," Farage said the gains his party has seen so far are "almost unbelievable."
It means we're going to win seats, many, many seats," he said.
