英国改革党领袖奈杰尔·法拉奇因担心会因座位安排问题与另一名议员发生“肢体冲突”，而缺席了财政大臣的首份预算案辩论。
Reform UK leader ‘shocked’ by £10bn pledged to Ukraine and doubles down on cutting tax for crypto investors Nigel Farage skipped the chancellor’s first budget because he was worried he would get in a “physical altercation” with another MP in a row over seating arrangements.
法拉奇承认自己未出席下院会议，但随后举行新闻发布会，表示对预算案中承诺拨付的100亿英镑援助乌克兰感到“震惊”，并重申了其政党关于为加密货币投资者减税的政策主张。
The Reform UK leader admitted he was not present in the House of Commons but gave a press conference afterwards in which he said he was “shocked” by the £10bn going to support Ukraine and doubled down on his party’s policies on cutting tax for crypto investors.
