Sir Keir attacked Mr Farage over a Facebook post shared by Simon Evans, Reform's deputy leader at County Hall, which featured a picture of Bolsover MP Natalie Fleet.

The post also included a comment, which reportedly said: “You dozy cow, you should be shot.”

Mr Evans later deleted the post and issued an apology on Facebook that he did “did not notice the accompanying text” and had made “a genuine mistake”.
