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.”

GB News has been told that it’s “night night” for Donald Trump after a catastrophic set of midterm election results.

The sitting President broke his silence earlier in the night, saying that if he was on the ballot, Republicans would have won in a “landslide”.

Speaking to Tom Harwood on GB News, political commentator Mally Smith said: “President Trump had a tough night because President Trump is unpopular. And when Steph Curry, the basketball player, hits a three to ice the game, he puts them to bed. He says ‘night night’. And this is night night to the President Trump’s failed presidency. It’s night night to President Trump’s fascism. It’s night night to President Trump’s economic mismanagement.”

Quick to reply, host Tom said: “You’d be forgiven for forgetting that there’s another two years of the Trump presidency to go.”
