BEST BITS: Nigel Farage openly mocked by MPs at PMQs

Catch all the biggest moments from this week’s Prime Minister’s Questions (PMQs) in our unmissable highlights compilation. With Keir Starmer at the dispatch box, MPs from across the House lined up to challenge, mock, and grandstand — and we’ve got it all covered.

In a session that veered from serious scrutiny to political theatre, Reform UK leader Nigel Farage came under fire from across the benches, with MPs ridiculing his divisive rhetoric and limited impact since entering Parliament. The chamber buzzed as veteran MPs took turns landing blows — a dramatic and hostile Commons debut for Farage.

Meanwhile, Tory MP Lee Anderson used a point of order to lavish praise on Farage, delivering a sycophantic defence that left even some of his Conservative colleagues cringing.

The Liberal Democrat leader delivered one of the most blistering moments of the session, tearing into government plans to cut funding for Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) in schools. In a scathing rebuke, he accused ministers of betraying vulnerable families and called on the Prime Minister to reverse course immediately.

Elsewhere, Kemi Badenoch took her shot at Labour’s record over the past year, pointing to policy U-turns and economic uncertainty. But Keir Starmer stayed composed, rebutting with his now-trademark calmness and turning the heat back onto 14 years of Conservative misrule.

This is your one-stop-shop for all the drama, scrutiny, and standout exchanges from Westminster.
