I think he’s just a fucking idiot tbf.

But both things can be true of course.

TBF can’t blame the Councillors for that. Seems mental unless they have disillusioned staff

Just ironic that they are apparently so keen to save money but waste it by their council being disorganised.

Anderson just pedalling the bs that they have saved 300 million or something at PMQs. Should be bringing that council tax down massively then?

They’ll be lucky to bring it down by 30p…

He really is a utter prick and the fact that virtually everyone else in the chamber was laughing at him tells you how he is viewed.

Even the speaker suggested he was doing stand up comedy

If you wanted to imagine what a Brexit voter in JDWs every day looked like in the E Midlands/North and North East it would look and sound very much like Lee Anderson.

Nigel, as a kid, racist? Surely not!

Yet another dodgy Reformer.

Farage up to his neck in murk.

When Brexit-mongs like our part-time resident misanthrope won their vote, to "take back control", they were voting for a pan-national, criminal funded, cabal of scoundrels.

Further embarrassment for Farage and Reform.

Never directly, so indirectly then Nigel?

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/nov/24/nigel-farage-responds-to-racism-claims-saying-he-never-tried-to-hurt-anybody

Given his history of what he has said as an adult, he is guilty as hell of doing those things when younger. Of course he can’t come clean and admit it, but it is a giveaway when he says that he did stupid things as a kid. His issue is that he didn’t grow out of it and still does it now. And people still vote for this person.

Net migration down two thirds in the last year.

Who needs Reform when you've got Labour!

Not great news though. Apparently for every 100,000 drop in migrants (the vast majority come to work or study) it cost us £7 billion in lost revenue (taxes etc). Not that Farage, Tice and chums will tell you that.

Do you think we should be doing a leaflet campaign in Syria and Afghanistan to encourage more to come over?

If you like. But as you probably understand, most came from elsewhere, especially the EU.

I bet those people who supported us when the army was there a few years ago and who have been stuck there under the Taliban would love to meet you.

By the way, I went to my local hospital yesterday and the vast majority of the staff had brown skin. They were all very helpful and very professional, as were the staff with white skin. I didn’t bother to ask anybody where they came from.

It never ceases to amaze me that, despite knowing what he was like as a young man and is still like today, people still support this odious excuse of a human being. Like Trump, he is only out for himself and what is in it for him. He attracts similar people like flies to a dung heap meanwhile gullible people swallow his guff because he knows exactly what they want to hear. 
Fair play to the grifter though, after years of trying to get various scummy parties elected he has found a potential winning formula. The seeds that he has been sowing for years are finally coming to fruition. He can now say things that were unacceptable years ago and get rounds of applause and votes from the hard of thinking. Trump has opened the door, after all, if a (once) great country like the USA can elect a narcissistic, racist, sociopathic, misogynistic, money grabbing, lying, disingenuous, moronic, imbecilic grifter to the highest office, why can’t we?

Did you get stabbed or blown up by the brown ones?

Great story, might want to consider selling to the papers to serialise?
