Nigel Farage launched his election campaign in Clacton today

GB News presenter Isabel Webster reacted to Nigel Farage confirming his return to politics.

On Monday afternoon, Farage announced he would be taking over as leader of Reform UK and stand for election in Clacton.


Webster responded to the announcement claiming that Farage’s entrance into the General Election would make it a “lot more interesting.”

In an exclusive clip for GB News, Webster said: “Goodness me, Nigel Farage has ruffled some feathers, hasn’t he? Lots of commentators this morning, even in the right-wing pressing.

“Just when we thought this was going to be the most boring election outside of North Korea, he’s thrown his hat in the ring.

“What does this mean for the conservative parties? What does this mean for Keir Starmer? What does this even mean for Brexit? It certainly made it a whole lot more interesting.”

Farage made his first major public speech this afternoon in front of hundreds of supporters gathered at Clacton Pier.

During his speech, the Reform leader told those gathered: “You will no longer be ignored.”

Farage said: “I hope that having a national figure representing this constituency will put Clacton on the map.

“No longer will you be ignored; I hope I can get investment that will bring jobs.

“I will stand up and fight for you…send me to Parliament to be a bloody nuisance.”
