Farage heckled during PMQs as he congratulates Trump and Starmer makes immigration jibe

Nigel Farage was heckled during Prime Minister’s Questions as he congratulated President-elect Donald Trump on his US election win on Wednesday, 13 November.

The Reform UK leader’s comments prompted a joke from Sir Keir Starmer, who said he was glad to see Mr Farage making a “rare appearance” in the UK after his time in the US.
