Nigel Farage fumed that PMQs was “rigged” by Labour as he staged another protest today. The Reform UK leader opted to sit in the side gallery instead of the House of Commons chamber for the session at midday.

Mr Farage has repeatedly complained that he is unable to respond to attacks against him as he does not get weekly questions. The Clacton MP said on X: “PMQs today will be rigged again by the Labour party. I will sit in the gallery.”

PMQs today will be rigged again by the Labour party. I will sit in the gallery.

Mr Farage previously sat in the gallery rather than the chamber in October.

He said at the time: “Every week at PMQs I am attacked by the PM and Labour MPs, but have no right of reply. I am just a mere spectator. So I have decided to spectate from the public gallery today instead.”

The Prime Minister takes questions from MPs in the Commons for half an hour every Wednesday at midday.

As the Leader of the Opposition, Tory Kemi Badenoch gets six questions each week.

Lib Dem leader Sir Ed Davey also gets two questions as his party is the second biggest in the Commons in terms of the number of MPS.

Insurgent party Reform UK, which is consistently leading national opinion polls, has five MPs so Mr Farage is not given weekly questions.
