From his increasingly precarious perch atop the Red Wall, Lee Anderson shared the image with his review of his own likeness.
Having heard Mr Anderson’s idea of a joke before, we think that was yet another swing and a miss, but all bets are off these days. In any case, Twitter/X pointed out the chunky grey thing with the big nose in the room.

Lee I’m so sorry you have been libelled in this way. My nephew drew a picture of me the other day where I looked like I was a stick?! I am slim but not a stick. He knows this. I’m also getting legal advice. Everyone knows I’m not a stick and knows you are slim with a small nose❤️ https://t.co/6gxSxJQsMb

Christ but it’s embarrassing what a bunch of snowflakes we have as politicians. Their feelings “get all hurty” and they start crying. FFS! I didn’t cry when my neighbours said they were burning an effigy of me to ward off evil spirits. ♀️ https://t.co/K3QckmRg36 pic.twitter.com/eOElV6pSf0

I swear I’m living in a simulation. UK politics right now is just too absurdly scripted to be true. https://t.co/Qqne8gAWEy

Not quite sure that seeking legal advice as to whether you are fat and old with a big nose is the right route. Maybe a mirror, or a trusted friend if one has one. https://t.co/HNpUNarK4Q

Couple of (non legal thoughts)
1. He's made him look fat and stupid.
2. I wish the @spectator would credit the artist as they do the writer.
3. I don't know if @mortenmorland will thank me for the credit, but I'll definitely help crowdfund his legal fees for the laughs. https://t.co/DKizfzX3tl

I think Lee is being self-deprecating, but it's backfired because these days we only ever see him take himself very seriously. https://t.co/FVp6kttDcI

In short …
Is this irony? Self depricating humour? Is it literal? I genuinely can't tell anymore. https://t.co/5I5XIAkzM1 pic.twitter.com/uXf9B5rGpO
