But Piers, appearing on an election special of Never Mind the Ballots, said there is now nowhere for Mr Farage to hide.Be in no doubt – this is a nightmare for the Conservative Party. They now face the painful task of having to rebuild and choose a new leader.Reform is expected to win the key seat of Hartlepool – the Red Wall seat in Labour’s old heartlands which turned Tory under Boris Johnson.It is a jaw-dropping turnaround from the dark days of the Jeremy Corbyn era of 209, when the party suffered their worst result in history.

“A disaster for the Conservative Party which cannot be understated. Whichever way you look at this, it’s a seismic night.”


On a historic night:


He has finally won on the eighth  attempt – and looks set to have a dozen Reform MPs with him.

Piers said: “It’s an earthquake. This is a political and social earthquake for this country, the likes of which I haven’t seen in my lifetime.But the party is also expected to claim victory in two Labour strongholds, Barnsley South and Barnsley North, which are currently held by Dan Jarvis and Stephanie Peacock.

It’s a social earthquake for this country & a disaster for Tories, Piers Morgan says

If the exit poll is right, Labour have stormed to victory with their biggest majority in their 100 year history.BRITAIN will wake up tomorrow to a political earthquake.It will leave the Tories with just 131 MPs, down 241 from Boris Johnson’s 80-seat majority five years ago.The Tories look set to be decimated. The most successful political party in Europe has been reduced to just a rump of 131 MPs.It comes as his party, formed in 2018, is on course to win 13 seats according to exit polls.

Britain will wake up to ‘political earthquake’

“And I think because Farage is the charisma that he is I think he will eclipse whoever is the next Tory leader.””We’ll see what happens but if that’s the result that would be a massive first step for this — I’m going to call it a movement — a political party is only part of what we’re all about.He added: “Finally being held accountable, by the way, which he’s managed to avoid for a very long time.The result would place Reform behind Labour, the Tories, and the Lib Dems, but ahead of the SNP, who are forecast to secure just 10 seats.”I’m probably responsible for him running because he wasn’t running on Question Time and I forced him into it. Now he has to be accountable.NIGEL Farage can’t hide and must finally be held to account as he’s predicted to become an MP for the first time, Piers Morgan says.Speaking after the exit poll, Mr Farage said: “It’s been amazing.It comes after Piers described the exit poll, which shows a Labour landslide, as a political “earthquake” and a “seismic night” for the UK.He has the [potential to change the face of politics forever,The Reform UK leader, 60, is on course to win the seat of Clacton-on-Sea, Essex, and become an MP at the eighth attempt.He said: “What does Nigel Farage do with this genuine platform that he’s now built in Parliament and will deploy, even though it may only be 13 seats, which is in fact quite a shock, he will use this to the maximum to leverage his position. Mr Farage couldn’t hide his glee after the exit poll.”I think first of all you have to say ‘congratulations to Keir Starmer, who has taken the party from being completely unelectable under Jeremy Corbyn to being a party with this gigantic majority.

Labour is predicted to take 410 seats, up 209 from 2019.”He can’t hide behind saying they’re all doing it the wrong way about everything.”But the big story of the night is Nigel Farage’s Reform party, who are expected to win a staggering 13 seats.This political maverick has lobbed a grenade into Westminster – and he is only just getting started.“We are looking at a Parliament in which Nigel Farage will run rampage and he’s up against a very wooden Prime Minister in Keir Starmer. The exit polls suggest Reform will be successful in poaching many voters who backed the Tories in 2019, such as in Hartlepool. Nigel, 60, the godfather of Brexit, is a charismatic leader well trained in waging war on ‘political elites’  from his days in the European Parliament.
He had run and failed to become an MP seven times before.”That’s long overdue, Nigel Farage being held to account now. Enjoying a cigarette at an election night party, he was photographed by The Sun grinning from ear to ear.“This is a movement to represent ordinary folk, the silent majority.”Sir Keir Starmer and the next leader of the Tories – whoever that may be – should brace themselves.
