Farage says he skipped Budget to avoid altercation with Lib Dem MP

Nigel Farage said he skipped Wednesday's Budget to avoid a "physical altercation" with another MP at the State Opening of Parliament, a formal ceremony, in May. Liberal Democrats said he "attempted to shove" Caroline Voaden. A Reform source accused them of "lying". Telegraph-reported footage shows the pair leaving the chamber together, with no visible major altercation.
