Lee Anderson, born January 1967, is a British Euroskeptic politician, who has served as the Tory Party MP for Ashfield in Nottinghamshire since 2019. Anderson has also been a host on UK conservative-leaning TV channel GB News since 2023.[1] In February 2024, Anderson was suspended from the Tory Party after stating that Sadiq Khan, the far-left London mayor known for his links to Muslim extremism, was "controlled by Islamists".[2]
Anderson was born in Ashfield, a working-class coal mining town in Nottinghamshire in England. Anderson himself is a former miner. For his working-class background, Anderson has been the subject of classist bullying by hypocrites on the left.[3]

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 Reform UK instead.[4]

Lee Anderson, who is a host on GB News, is a staunch critic of the BBC, the UK's state-funded left-wing, globalist propaganda mouthpiece. Anderson described the broadcaster as a "political front" for the UK's main openly socialist party Labour, after one of their supposedly non-political programmes prominently featured flags of the European Union.[5]
