Labour MP Thrown Out of Lee Anderson's Knife Crime Debate

Ashfield MP Lee Anderson's Westminster Hall debate on knife crime was interrupted today as a Labour MP was thrown out for 'a temper and attitude that did not belong in Westminster Hall'.

During the debate, Lee Anderson raised London Mayor Sadiq Khan's terrible record on knife crime. Under his leadership there has been a reduction of stop and search of over 23% in just one year. Meanwhile, knife crime in London has increased by nearly 60% in just three years.

A particular Labour MP did not like this being highlighting, and subsequently attempted to interrupt the speech several times, even resorting to raising phony points of order to try to stop Lee Anderson from speaking. In the end this Labour MP was asked to leave.

Lee Anderson quipped: "It is not the first time the honourable member has been thrown out of a room on this estate", in reference to a 2023 incident when he was given a five-day Commons suspension after making racist comments to a journalist in one of the parliamentary bars.

This incident is yet another example of a pattern of actions from the Labour Party, who know they have lost the argument, so now they are resorting to other methods in an attempt to silence us. I will reiterate again, they will not succeed. Britain needs Reform.
