Nigel Farage Heckled in Commons
Nigel Farage, the Reform UK leader, was repeatedly heckled by fellow MPs while proposing withdrawal from the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) in the Commons.
Children, be quiet!
Farage hit back at the backbenchers with this remark, prompting laughter and surprised noises around the chamber. He argued that the ECHR is "unfinished business" and that "Brexit cannot be completed while we're subject to a foreign court".
- The Reform UK leader's 10-minute rule bill to take the UK out of the ECHR was voted down by MPs.
- Most of the Labour and Conservative benches were empty during his speech, but Liberal Democrats and other opposition MPs attended, mainly to heckle Farage.
- Some MPs pointed out Farage's past promise to leave the UK if the EU withdrawal was a disaster, which he made in 2017.
