Nigel Farage, in his first speech as a Member of Parliament, criticized former Commons Speaker John Bercow, labeling him a 'little man' who attempted to 'overturn' Brexit. The Reform UK leader, making his debut in the House of Commons, took the opportunity during the re-election of Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle to express his views. Farage, representing Clacton as a newly elected MP, accused Bercow of besmirching the Parliament during his tenure as Speaker. His comments elicited mixed reactions in the chamber, with some groans from fellow MPs. Farage also celebrated his party, Reform UK, as the 'new kids on the block', marking a significant moment for the party as it joins the ranks of the UK Parliament.
