Nigel Farage walked out of a Sky News interview when asked about Reform MP James McMurdock's 18-year-old assault conviction. Farage was questioned about the party's vetting process, and when pressed on McMurdock's past, he became frustrated and left, saying he was "off for lunch." McMurdock, who had not disclosed the conviction, had been sentenced to 21 days in a youth offenders' institution for kicking his partner. Report by Covellm.
