Nigel Farage took time out from appearing on BBC1’s Question Time to talk to Beth Rigby over at Sky News.
And the Sky News political editor was naturally keen to ask the Reform UK leader about one of his party’s MPs in particular. Here is what she had to say on Twitter.
‘I ask Nigel Farage about Reform MP James McMurdock, who was jailed in 2006 for repeatedly kicking his girlfriend, acc to court records seen by
@TheTimes.‘He didn’t disclose his record ahead of election & after it came to light, downplayed it as a “teenage indiscretion” & said he “pushed her”. How would Reform deal with cases like this in the future?’
And Farage’s response surely tells to you all you need to know (and already knew).
Sky’s @BethRigby challenges Nigel Farage on the news a Reform MP was jailed 18 years ago for repeatedly kicking his girlfriend according to released court records.

And here is what people made of that.

He clearly doesn’t give a fuck about what happened to the woman James McMurdock savagely assaulted. But then we’ve always known that Nigel Farage cares only for himself. https://t.co/ohM6HO2jpp

He is just a glorified Golf club bigot . Ignorant and proud. Spouts simplistic drivel in a loud posh voice and calls it ‘common sense’ . Which to bottom of class at school divvy Dave down the pub it is https://t.co/HyOmeYBaYR

Farage is a coward, it’s always got to be the question he wants, he runs away from difficult questions.
