Three-party Lee

[Westfacing]

It seems Lee Anderson is this morning to defect to the Reform Party

Don't know whether to laugh or cry for the Tories!

Oh good. That will nicely split whatever vote they have left.

.

I think some Red Wall MPs will try and save their own skins and join him.

Will this be his third party? glad he is not my MP.

And I agree, there could be a range of defections.

Sunak needs to call a GE.

Lee is taking the stage... face hidden by the flag!

The flag has walked

I wonder how his constituents feel.

All very anti-Islam so far, and obsessed with London

This was always on the cards. Hence his comments which gained publicity and then lost his tory job.

Crud will settle at the bottom of the barrel eventually.

He looks utterly miserable for a man heralding a new beginning.

actually, he looks angry.

Yes, he did look angry, and very narky and overall unpleasant!

I'd like to congratulate Reform UK on their acquisition of such a considered, intelligent and loyal man.😆

He is an angry man. The people who rage at immigrants / Muslims etc usually are. Even if there were no immigrants or Muslims, they'd still be angry and find something to rant about and target. Benefit scroungers. Europe. Green energy.

It was interesting that - at the age of 57 - he credited his parents’ political opinions so heavily in his own choices.

What exactly is "Muslim and illegals" and how am I supposed to be suffering from it?

@Ginmonkeyagain good question. I have Muslim friends, but can't say they cause me any suffering. And while there are bound to be illegal migrants in the UK, asylum seekers are not by definition illegal just because this government says so.
