Nigel Farage Heckled in Commons
Nigel Farage suffered a defeat in the House of Commons as MPs voted down his proposal to leave the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR).
Farage, the Reform UK leader, proposed a 10-minute rule bill to withdraw from the ECHR. Despite the Labour and Tory benches being largely empty, dozens of Lib Dem MPs and opposition MPs from smaller parties attended, and Farage was heckled as he delivered his proposal.
MP: "Putin's pet!"
Farage: "It's marvellous to see the intellectual levels of debate in this place, it really is"
The proposal was defeated by 154 votes to 96, a majority of 58.
