Lee Anderson was asked what proof he had that Keir Starmer was lying and his ‘answer’ didn’t speak volumes about the Reform UK man, it bellowed them

It’s not been a good week for Keir Starmer and at the time of writing it looks like it is going to get even worse.

But at least he can console himself that he is not Lee Anderson.

The former Conservative Party deputy chair turned Reform UK chief whip was thrown out of the Commons yesterday for insisting that Starmer had lied over the Peter Mandelson farrago.

So it was only natural that Sky News presenter Mark Austin should want to know what evidence 30p had that Starmer was actually, you know, lying.

And Anderson’s response didn’t just speak volumes, it bellowed them.

Mark Austin: I’m not hearing any real evidence that he lied?

Lee Anderson(Reform MP): “I’m not interested…”

MA: Your inbox isn’t proof that he lied?

LA: “It doesn’t matter…”

MA: Isn’t this just attention seeking?

LA: “No…” 👀 pic.twitter.com/WlxXqcmPbr

Mark Austin called this absolutely correctly.

Lee Anderson and Reform UK with a performative attempt at grabbing the headlines.

When told that there was no proof, his answer was, “I don’t care”.

Textbook populist prattling. https://t.co/AniJSxRf55

Anderson appeals to the bloke drinking in Wetherspoons at 9am so just imagine him being anywhere near leading a government department and being scrutinised on it https://t.co/0xS9X8tX1N

“My inbox is full of idiots with feelings and I’m more than happy to parrot the feelings of these idiots”

This is the exact reason he’s kept well away from any media where he has to open his trap
