== History ==
In February 2024, Lee Anderson was suspended from the Tory, or "Conservative", Party by undemocratically chosen centre-left Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, after the Labour Party wrote to Tory chairman Ric Holden, accusing Anderson of "[[Islamophobia]]". This came after Anderson had stated that London, under the mayorship of far-left radical Islam sympathiser [[Sadiq Khan]], was being "run by Islamists".
The suspension was met with criticism by many conservatives and those on the right of the Tory Party. Nigel Farage suggested that Anderson should join [[Brexit Party|Reform UK]] instead.<ref>[https://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/1870400/nigel-farage-lee-anderson-suspended-reform Nigel Farage calls on 'cancelled' Lee Anderson to join Reform and destroy the Tories]</ref>
