  1. >>The ex-Tory deputy chairman, who quit on Tuesday in order to rebel over the policy, said opposition MPs were “giggling and laughing and taking the mick”, adding: “I couldn’t vote no”.

    […]

    >>He said: “I was going to vote no. I went into the no lobby to vote no, because I couldn’t see how I could support the bill after backing all the amendments.

    >>“I got into the no lobby and I spent about two or three minutes with a colleague in there. The Labour lot were giggling and laughing and taking the mick and I couldn’t do it: In my heart of hearts, I couldn’t vote no.

    A quote not in the article

    “I’ve got a thick skin [name of reporter, I believe. I can’t hear clearly over reporter talking], but at the end of the day, my mates are going in one lobby, and I’m going in another and they’re taking the . I nearly swore there.”

  2. Sadly this Ashfield Indy lot are running again, so 30p Lee might even get reelected.

  3. Ladies and gentlemen, this is what the people of power think and act like! And this guy is that much of an idiot he actually says this out loud. There must be a different way to govern as democracy as we know it clearly isn’t working. This is beyond stupid on every level

  4. Yup, that’s about the level of petty I expect from the entire fucking parliament.

  5. Lee Anderson’s the kind of guy who would piss all over himself if you said he was too chicken to do it.

  6. We are governed by children, but crueler and without any of the redeeming qualities – kids will one day grow up

  7. Imagine being so weak and insecure that you could be persuaded to bottle taking action over a matter you were prepared to lose your job over, because some people you don’t like who agreed with you had a bit of a giggle at your expense.

    Playground shit.

  8. Why be surprised, this is exactly the depth of every single Tory MP. The alt right have consumed the Tories and most of their supporters, they are scum and we should all be pointing out how disgusting they are… not least because they keep highlighting it themselves.

  9. If you will desert your principles because some people are giggling at you then they are not principles

  10. Lee Anderson, there. Admitting his reason for voting was ‘spite’.

  11. Bigot does not like being laughed at. Sorry, but he is one big joke.

  12. So “Those are my principles, and if you don’t like them… well, I have others.”

  13. This guy is such a loud mouthed thug, makes me sad that anyone would vote for him. It’s not even about his politics, you can just tell he’s motivated by anger and spite.

  14. Ah, poor 30p Lee, he really ought to get a thicker skin if he wants to make it in politics

  15. Big thanks to all the thick as inbreds who voted this fucking idiot and the rest Into power…
