Lee Anderson: MP suspended from Tory party over criticism of London mayor
Lee Anderson, a Member of Parliament for the Conservative party, has been suspended from the party over his criticism of London mayor Sadiq Khan.
Anderson, who represents the Ashfield constituency, was reportedly outspoken in his views on Khan’s handling of various issues in London, including crime and housing.
The Conservative party took action against Anderson after he made comments that were deemed to be in breach of party discipline.
Anderson’s suspension has sparked debate within the party, with some members supporting his right to speak out against the mayor, while others argue that party discipline must be upheld at all times.
It remains to be seen whether Anderson will be reinstated to the party, or if he will face further disciplinary action.
