Lee Anderson lawsplaining to the Met Police commissioner is a most extraordinary watch – 13 arresting responses

You’ll already be aware of Conservative MP (and party deputy chair) Lee Anderson, who is paid £100,000 a year by GB News and thinks perfectly nutritious meals can be cooked for 30p a time.

We mention him again – with some reluctance – after he took Metropolitan Police commissioner Sir Mark Rowley to task in a Commons committee hearing and it’s today’s most extraordinary watch.

Mark Rowley(Metropolitan Police Commissioner) takes no nonsense from 30p Lee Anderson

This is the standard of politician we have now. Lee Anderson showboating his mumbled ‘comedy’ about protestors, then being unnecessarily insulting. How on Earth did this bag of tits ever ascend to a position where he could sit on a select committee? pic.twitter.com/ZjNPkCwG7C

We can’t compare any of this tone to 1930s Germany though, because there’s absolutely no comparison, apparently. Anderson is utterly foul. pic.twitter.com/rpdJAQ5nn3

30p Lee Anderson trying to play hardman, Mark Rowley put him right in his place.

Tells him current bill hasn't come into power yet and more succinctly that he is making selective comments based on partial understanding of the law👇#ToriesOut293 #30pLeepic.twitter.com/PoM038Ns6v

A masterclass in how not to act as an MP, or even a half decent human being. Mr Lee Anderson sullies Parliament.pic.twitter.com/TGymBVACYd

It's a measure of just how unpleasant, boorish, and downright bad at his job 30p Lee is that he'll make you side with a Metropolitan Police officer. https://t.co/VMMx5OajSI

Dreamt last night that Lee Anderson pretended to care about racism and misogyny in order to score some cheap points off a policeman.

Lee Anderson behaving like a childish Internet troll. No interest in the facts or the freedom of people to protest – just there to make rude personal comments… utter tool https://t.co/FK50nPx34V
