Nigel Farage is accused of shoving a female Liberal Democrat MP in the House of Commons, with Liberal Democrats describing the incident as physical and saying they are still awaiting an apology.
Several outlets focus on statements from Liberal Democrat Caroline Voaden, who says she is “shocked” and waiting for an apology she says Farage was required to write. The Evening Standard and The Guardian also report accusations involving Daisy Cooper, who says Farage physically shoved a colleague earlier this year. Farage has disputed the context, saying he missed a Commons budget matter because his seat reservation had been moved after a prior seating-related dispute.
Other coverage frames the dispute as a wider “war of words” around Farage’s explanation for his absence, linking the accusations to his claims about a previous “physical altercation” in Parliament and to the seating issue that reportedly led to further complications. Across outlets, the core points remain the same—Lib Dems’ accusations of physical contact and Farage’s account of why he skipped or avoided proceedings—while the emphasis varies between individual quotes from Lib Dem figures and the explanation of events in Parliament.
