英国改革党领袖奈杰尔·法拉奇因缺席本周约翰·希利发表的预算演讲而陷入争议 1。他声称此举是由于今年五月议会开幕期间与其他议员发生肢体冲突后决定保持距离所致 1。然而，报道指出法拉奇缺席的实际程序性原因是其座位预订被下议院工作人员移除，理由是缺乏正确的日期戳 1。
随着争议发酵，自民党副领袖黛西·库珀向天空新闻透露，据她了解，法拉奇在该次冲突中“物理上推开”了一名女性议员 1。外界普遍认为被推搡的女性议员是卡罗琳·沃登，她在社交媒体上公开质疑真相并要求法拉奇道歉 1。
面对指控，法拉奇方面予以否认 1。改革党消息人士向《每日电讯报》表示：“这完全不是真的——是自民党议员对奈杰尔表现出攻击性。” 1此外，改革党影子财政大臣罗伯特·杰里克拒绝直接回应此事，将其贬低为“可悲的威斯敏斯特辩论” 1。
Reform UK leader Nigel Farage sparked controversy by attributing his absence from this week’s budget speech to a physical altercation with another parliamentarian that occurred during the opening of the new session in May 1. However, reports indicate that the actual reason for his missing seat was an administrative error, as House of Commons staff had removed his booking due to an incorrect date stamp 1. The incident came under scrutiny when Liberal Democrat deputy leader Daisy Cooper told Sky News that she understood Farage had "physically pushed" a female member of parliament 1.
The MP believed to be involved in the alleged shove is Caroline Voaden, who subsequently took to social media to question the truthfulness of the situation and demand an apology 1. In response to these accusations, sources within Reform UK stated to The Daily Telegraph that the claims were entirely false, arguing instead that it was Liberal Democrat MPs who had been aggressive towards Farage 1. Meanwhile, Robert Jenrick, the Shadow Chancellor for Reform UK, declined to engage directly with the matter, dismissing the ongoing dispute as a "sad Westminster debate" 1.
