Richard Tice has launched a scathing attack on the "complete chaos" that erupted during Prime Minister's Questions, demanding answers about why microphones failed to cut off while Nigel Farage was heckled.
The chaotic scenes unfolded when Farage attempted to question Sir Keir Starmer about Brexit and immigration control.
The Reform UK leader was trying to tell the Prime Minister that Britons wanted the Government to stop illegal migration and to stand up to what he called an "anti-Brexit French President" during Emmanuel Macron's state visit.
As the Reform UK leader began saying "people voted for Brexit", he was immediately interrupted by Independent MP Iqbal Mohamed shouting, "because they were lied to".

Speaking about the moment on GB News, Reform UK's Richard Tice, who was sitting next to the MP at the time, said: "So the question was that millions of people voted for Brexit, we wanted to take back control of our borders.
"But Nigel was saying we don’t want tens of thousands of undocumented, illegal migrants crossing the Channel.

"I was right next to Nigel, I could barely hear what he was sayin,g and it was relentless.
"So, you know, that’s why Lee Anderson said, 'Can you please shut up?' And it was pretty extraordinary.
"It's not the place of other people to comment, the Speaker can but not MPs, but I do think there’s a genuine concern for many people about what’s happening with the microphones when Nigel gives a question.
"They're supposed to be cut off for everyone else, and there’s increasing evidence that may not have happened today."

He added "questions must be answered" as to why the microphones for other MPs seemed as if they were not cut.
Following the session, Anderson raised a point of order with Speaker Lindsay Hoyle, complaining that he couldn't hear a "single word" of Farage's question.
"People like the honourable member for Dewsbury behind me never shut up, as the honourable member of Clacton was trying to ask a reasonable question.
"We do not subscribe to this sort of dog whistle politics in Reform UK," Anderson told the chamber.

Sir Lindsay responded by urging MPs to show "respect" and "tolerance" towards each other.
Keir Starmer accused Farage of sticking "two fingers" up to Britain's neighbours whilst expecting cooperation.
"He has no interest in fixing the problem because he wants to milk it and exploit it. That's the truth about him and his party," the Prime Minister said.
