Lee Anderson timeline as former Conservative Party deputy chairman joins Reform UK
Lee Anderson has joined Reform UK after the MP lost the Tory whip in February over his outburst regarding Sadiq Khan.
The Ashfield MP had been an independent after being thrown out of the parliamentary Tory party but has now linked up with Richard Tice and Nigel Farage at the Right-wing party.
He said: “All I want is my country back. Now this may sound offensive to the liberal elite. But it’s not offensive to my friends or family, my constituents and some of my constituents like my mum and dad, who told me they could not vote for me unless I joined Reform UK.”
Mr Anderson’s divisive outspokenness had helped him rise to the position of deputy chairman of the Conservative Party and won him a show on GB News but has also got him in trouble along the way.
