Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has “boycotted” a series of key Commons votes as a “failure of democracy” locks the populist party’s five MPs out of a key parliamentary process.Farage, 60, confirmed Reform UK MPs would not vote in elections to decide Select Committee chairs yesterday.Despite receiving 4.1 million votes, Reform UK will have no representation on Select Committees.The Liberal Democrats, who obtained 3.5 million votes, will get to sit on the key committees.Sir Ed Davey’s pro-PR party will get representation after returning 72 MPs.Taking to social media, the Clacton MP said:“Reform MPs boycotted the elections for Select Committee Chairs in Parliament tonight.“Despite us winning more votes than the Lib Dems, we are not allowed a single seat. This is a failure of democracy.”CHECK OUT GB NEWS’ LATEST POLITICAL UPDATES BELOW…Hunt blasts Labour over ‘bogus’ attack lineEx-Chancellor Jeremy Hunt has slammed Labour for blaming the Tories economic record for the “tough” decisions it is not making.Sir Keir Starmer consistently blamed the £22billion black hole left by the Conservative Party for the need to release convicts early and axe Winter Fuel Payments for 10 million pensioners.The Prime Minister is also expected to blame the Tories for the need for the NHS to “reform or die” later today.However, in a scathing attack against Labour, Hunt said: “Labour’s bogus ‘black hole’ is falling to pieces, with the Government now admitting they can’t provide basic details because they aren’t sure they’re accurate.“It’s clear that this fictitious ‘black hole’ is purely of Labour’s own making – simply a political smokescreen for their public sector pay awards. “The public won’t be fooled by this shameless pre-text for tax rises.”However, Starmer yesterday responded to several questions by highlighting the situation inherited by the new Labour Government.
