Met Police Investigating Hate Speech Report Against Lee Anderson

Former Tory MP Faces Allegations of Hate Speech

The Metropolitan Police are currently "assessing" a report of hate speech made against ex-Tory MP Lee Anderson. This comes after Anderson made controversial remarks about London Mayor Sadiq Khan being controlled by "Islamists."

Anderson Stands Firm Despite Backlash

Despite facing widespread condemnation and being stripped of the Conservative whip for his comments, Lee Anderson has refused to apologize. Cabinet Minister Mark Harper hinted at a potential return to the party if Anderson apologized, but the former MP remains steadfast in his stance.

Future Political Moves Uncertain

Lee Anderson is now sitting as an independent MP and has not ruled out joining another party, such as Reform UK (formerly the Brexit Party). At a recent Prime Minister's Questions session, Anderson was seen on the Tory benches, indicating a potential alignment with the party in the future.
