Speaking to presenter Anna Botting as part of Sky News’s Makerfield byelection coverage, the Labour peer Thangam Debbonaire and the Reform MP Sarah Pochin clashed during a tense interview after an exchange about an undisclosed £5m personal gift accepted by Nigel Farage in 2024.
Pochin claimed the Reform leader had received the gift before he was in politics. Debbonaire, who tried to interject several times, refuted the claim, saying: 'You have been interrupting me all night, Sarah, and now you’re just talking rubbish.'
