New Reform MP Richard Tice tells Boston and Skegness: 'I'm a doer'

The newly elected MP for Boston and Skegness has pledged to be active locally.

Richard Tice overturned a 25,000 Conservative majority to win the seat for Reform UK.

Mr Tice, who is also the party's chairman, said: "I've committed to getting a property here."

He is one of four new Reform MPs , including Nigel Farage who won the Clacton seat.

Mr Tice won with 15,520 votes, beating Conservative Matt Warman into second place, with 13,510 votes.

The seat was previously regarded as one of safest Tory seats in the country.

Thanking his supporters, he pledged to work "tirelessly" to improve the lives of everyone in the constituency.

He told BBC Look North: "I'm going to get stuck in.

"I'm meeting a couple of hundred people regarding the threat to close 100-year-old bowling greens in Skegness.

"[I'm] having meetings with residents about flooding in Wainfleet. So yeah, I'm a doer, I'm a fixer, I'm a sorter absolutely."
