Lee Anderson compared Labour to β€˜Traitors’ & everyone made the same joke

Lee Anderson

Reform MP Lee Anderson has said the following about the Labour Party’s Andy Burnham situation:

As many of you have already figured out, it was a foolish move for a Reform politician to bring up the concept of ‘traitors’.

Russian right into it

The bear in the room is that a Reform politician is currently doing hard time for taking bribes to promote Russia. That man was Nathan Gill, and he was the head of Reform in Wales.

This is what the sentencing judge told Gill:

When you say what someone has paid you to say, you are not speaking with sincerity. If it was your genuine opinion, you would not need to be paid for saying it.

Allowing money to corrupt your moral compass constitutes a grave betrayal of the trust vested in you by the electorate.

Your misconduct has ramifications beyond personal honour, which is now irretrievably damaged.

What’s the word for a politician who takes money from a hostile foreign power?

These people knew:

There’s also a second kind of ‘traitor’ in Reform β€” specifically those who betrayed the Conservatives because they saw the gravy train departing Tory Central:

Lee Anderson β€” a traitor to his own interests

As we’ve reported, Lee Anderson isn’t very bright. Just this week, he made it clear that Reform’s belief in ‘free speech’ is absolute horseshit:

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the nonsense ’30p Lee’ spouts on a weekly basis.

Oh, and the following came out this week too:

It’s lucky for Reform, isn’t it, that all these foreign billionaires are so interested in the wellbeing of Britain.

That or they see Reform as the political wing of a full on capitalist assault on British wealth and sovereignty.
