I would be surprised if he gets voted out at the next election.
Regardless of your views on him he works hard for his local constituency.
Well he has another two years max to convince them that Brexit bonuses have been realised and that levelling up is working…. Personally I think he’s toast.Regardless of your views on him he works hard for his local constituency.
Anything could happen in two years time ...

Haven't read all the thread. Lee Anderson used to be Labour, so isn't particularly known for his principles. He also claimed some of the largest expenses (may have actually been the largest) for an MP recently.
That said, I do think he says what he thinks and doesn't pander. A north midlands MP of this ilk though is in a fairly small minority at Westminster.
I doubt he stands a chance of getting in next time round. Ashfield has been Tory only once before which was a bit of an aberration. He got in because the Brexit vote was strong, plus having the ex-mining background helps in Ashfield among the older generations.

A breath of fresh air and someone who will be an excellent chairman.
I must confess to being a bit surprised at his appointment I thought Boris Johnson should get the job.
Clearly Rishi is fine tuning his top team and selecting those he thinks weill be best. It's often easy when you have a wide range of very good team members to overlook some people in favour of more wildly known names. Rishi hasn't taken this approach.
I say jolly well done Rishi and good luck to Mr Anderson.
There hasn’t been a piece of political satire this well written or dry since The Thick Of It. I must confess to being a bit surprised at his appointment I thought Boris Johnson should get the job.

Nothing surprises me with the state of politics in this country though ...

What I find amazing is that a bunch of apparently smart politicians got together in a meeting and thought that Lee Anderson was the right 'answer'. Absolutely amazing series of 'own' goals over the last few years.
If the answer is Lee Anderson I worry what the question was. _Neal_ said:

She claimed she was going to sue him and launched a fund raiser to garner the money required to bring a lawsuit (despite continually stating her (Jewish) lawyer worked on a "pro-bono" basis)...
Mind explaining why you mentioned the lawyer was Jewish?

As with many of Monroe's claims it's probably best to treat such a statement with scepticism until definitive proof is available.
On a separate note, don't do drugs kids.
There will be much more to this story of defamatory skullduggery
For example how can we be sure there is no Russian or Chines involvement in this. Mr Anderson's facebook account could have been hacked by foreign agents.
From there it's really quite easy for the agents to post stuff as and when.
I would not be too quick to take this as face value. Lee is a powerful man, a principled man, That's why Rish looked to him to be Chairman.
Apart from foreign agency involvement I can imagine Lee will have made several enemies along his political journey
If Rishi has confidence in him that's alright by me.

It was a brilliant decision by Sunak to promote Anderson to Dep Chair of the Tory Party.
If Liberals, Labour, SNP, Independents and Greens could have wished for anyone to take the role, it would have been him.
Yes because they haven’t got a clue about the real world.. If Liberals, Labour, SNP, Independents and Greens could have wished for anyone to take the role, it would have been him.
