BREAKING: Nigel Farage reveals he skipped Budget due to ‘physical altercation’ with MP in Commons

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has said he skipped John Healey's first Budget today following a "physical altercation" with an MP earlier this year.

Mr Farage, who is accused of missing key moments in the House of Commons, claimed the incident took place ahead of the State Opening of Parliament on May 13.

Speaking to journalists after Mr Healey's Budget, Mr Farage said: "At the State Opening of Parliament, I didn't want to, but I got involved in a physical altercation with an MP in the chamber.

"I didn't make a fuss about it, I didn't complain. But I could see, given my prayer card had been removed, I was heading towards another physical altercation.”
