Nigel Farage has been accused of having shoved a female Liberal Democrat MP earlier this year, after he spoke about missing this week’s budget because of a previous altercation about seating.

The Reform leader said on Wednesday that he skipped John Healey’s speech in the House of Commons due to his seat reservation having been moved.
