Nigel Farage Heckled in Commons

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, but was heckled by Labour and Lib Dem MPs 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.
