GB News viewers have reacted to Nigel Farage becoming the Reform UK leader.
The Reform UK honorary president will stand for election in Clacton just days after he ruled himself out.
Responding to Farage's announcement, GB News viewers spoke about the "brilliant" news to take over from Richard Tice.
One viewer said: "Wow! Brilliant news. This is the moment that Nigel makes history. Well you've got my vote Reform UK."
Another said: "What wonderful news about Nigel Farage. All due respect to Richard Tice for stepping down. Bring the election on."
Other viewers questioned how far Reform would go in the election stating: "I don't think Reform will get any seats but every journey begins with a single step."
Some viewers stated that they plan to change their vote after Farage's announcement with one person explaining: " I am no longer voting for the Tories, it's Reform for me."
Another viewer called the new Reform leader "a breath of fresh air" with one person stating he had the "best speech of the election campaign so far."
Other viewers were not pleased to see Farage run for election saying: "He just talked his way out of my vote" and "Reform will win zero seats."
Richard Tice, the man who was previously lead the insurgent party into the July 4 vote, told viewers he would be stepping aside.
