Nigel Farage Heckled in Commons as He Suffers Defeat on Proposal to Leave ECHR
Nigel Farage suffered a defeat in the House of Commons as MPs voted down his proposal for the UK to leave the European Convention on Human Rights.
Farage, the Reform UK leader, proposed a 10-minute rule bill to withdraw from the ECHR. Despite a largely empty Labour and Tory benches, 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 comfortably defeated by 154 votes to 96, a majority of 58.
