He told reporters: "The two main parties in this country do not listen to the people of Ashfield and other places like this across the country – but they’re going to listen now.
"As I said a few weeks back, there’s going to be a reckoning on election night – there has been a seismic reckoning in Ashfield and throughout the country.
"Reform are picking up seats tonight – make no bones about it. Next week, I’ll be on the green benches with Nigel and a few others, and we’re going to give them hell."

Nigel Farage's party looks set to win 13 seats, exit polling shows (Image: Getty)
Ashfield's result saw Labour's Rhea Keehn on 11,554, Tory candidate Debbie Soloman gaining 3,271 votes, and the Lib Dem candidate Daniel Holmes got 619 votes.
Independent candidate Jason Zadrozny won almost twice the number of votes than Ms Soloman, with 6,276 votes.
Reform UK is set to win 13 seats, according to the exit poll. Mr Anderson's win marks the first time Reform have managed to secure an MP at the ballot box.
Mr Farage had earlier declined to say what number of MPs they would classify as a win, but 13 elected representatives is higher than predictions by most polls.
The exit poll by Ipsos UK for Sky News, the BBC and ITV News, said Reform UK have a likelihood of 99 percent-plus that Mr Farage will win the seat in Clacton, Essex.
