Lee Anderson, the MP for Ashfield, accused Steve Bray of looking like a ‘tramp’
A Conservative MP has launched a verbal tirade against an anti-Brexit protester outside parliament, telling him: “You’re nothing but a parasite”.
Lee Anderson, who was elected MP for Ashfield in 2019, was asked by activist Steve Bray whether he would still be supporting “liar” Boris Johnson to stay as prime minister.
Mr Anderson, who was accompanied by guests and two police officers at the time, appeared angered by the question, stating: “At least I’ve got a job to lose, you haven’t got one.”
The activist, who is regularly seen outside parliament urging the government to reverse Brexit, said: “My job’s annoying and holding people like you to account.”
But the MP replied: “You’re nothing but a parasite. We’ve established that. You’re a scrounger. Why are you here dressed like a tramp?”
Asked whether he was being “derogatory” towards people without jobs, Mr Anderson said: “I’ll rephrase that: If you smartened yourself up you’d make a good tramp.”
Mr Anderson said Mr Bray should apply for a job. But the activist replied that his supporters were willing to crowd-fund his work because they “cannot stand liars, cheats, charlatans, fraudsters, and con-artists – people like yourself – in office.”
The pair exchanged further words along a similar theme before Mr Anderson, a staunch Brexiteer, said goodbye to his guests and headed towards parliament’s security cordon.
Mr Bray is a recognisable site in Westminster, usually wearing a blue top hat and blasting protest music from a sound-system that can sometimes be heard inside parliament.
The Ashfield MP Mr Anderson previously hit the headlines last summer when he announced he would not be watching the England national football team at Euro 2020 because players were taking a knee before matches.
It is not the first time the MP and activist have come to blows. July 2021, a video emerged of a previous encounter between Mr Bray and Mr Anderson – in which the MP also called Mr Bray a “parasite” while drinking in a Westminster pub.
Mr Anderson told his local newspaper NottinghamLive after that encounter that Mr Bray had subjected him to a “torrent of vile abuse”. The protester had accused him of lying according to a video of that incident.
The brass neck on this MP who claimed over 200 grand in expenses last year calling someone a parasite.
Bold words from the wanker who cost us over £208,000 last year.
For context this is the MP who bangs on about ‘cultural marxism’, contributes to a facebook group promoting Tommy Robinson and refused to watch England in the Euros in protest of them ‘taking the knee’.
Bray *is* a bellend, to be fair
There’s a reason he’s known as LeeAnderthal.
Highly successful parasites naturally look down on those who aren’t doing as well.
I think more MPs would do well to remember that, technically speaking, we’re their boss
I certainly wouldn’t talk to the person who pays my wages like that.
The two poor police officers there repeatedly telling Bray and Lee to get a room, get totally ignored
…*even though between the four of them it is only the officers who have real jobs.*
Bit rich coming from a man stealing a very nice living while throwing hissy hits over people doing things he dosent like.
They made a provision in their latest law to deal directly with this guy.
Why does Anderson need two policemen to walk with him? Do they do this every day? Does he claim the policemen on expenses?
This is the Tory who was caught taking a tv crew to a friends house pretending he was a complete stranger. How far we have sunk in the last decade with these shitweasels in power, corrupt af. And our mostly useless media not calling them out a dozen times a day.
Tbf I don’t know how that guy’s not been done for harassment
The Stop Brexit guy’s clearly not right in the noggin, to be fair.
Pretty rich coming from a Tory MP. Not known to be scroungers and thieves at all that lot.
Interesting election Ashfield. An independent seemed to split the vote. Wonder if he’ll be out at the next election?
That guy’s still protesting? Everyone needs a hobby I guess
> Mr Bray is a recognisable site in Westminster,
Top writing and journalism from the Independent there.
The person of interest to HMRC quip at the end was a chuckle.. talk about the kettle calling the pot black
Isn’t that the “knockers” MP?
Oh great, he has a fundme page… ill send him some cash to keep annoying these morons 🙂
You can always tell when someone hasnt suffered enough…..
We should make an example of these kinds of MP. Its about time our government worked for us again and not the other way around.
After a decade of anti-labour rhetoric, this is the third article this week Ive read taking a harsh light on the Tori party. Wonder why the sudden change.
The great tradition of eggs throwing and cakes in faces has disappeared?
Wasn’t there a viral video of this MP during the run up to the last election caught feeding lines to racist neighbours during supposed random interviews? Can’t recall exactly but he is an odious bigot for sure
Despite the fact I despise the EU, I despise Tory cunts like this who leech £200k in expenses more so fair play to this man.

Doubt locals will appreciate him wasting their time and money.
He should have been looking in a mirror when he said that.
How can that protestor afford to loiter around Westminster every day?
Accusing a Tory of lying and stealing is like accusing a turd of stinking.
Contempt for the public is pretty standard for the modern Conservative party. It’s just unusual to see it so loud and clear.
Should look at a mirror first, the absolute danger.
As always, listen carefully to what comes out of a right-winger’s mouth.
They almost always end up telling on themselves.
