Watch: Lee Anderson tries to steal Steve Bray’s hat

It’s a new year but it looks like Lee Anderson and anti-Brexit campaigner Steve Bray haven’t buried the hatchet, it is doubtful they will ever see eye to eye, let’s be honest.

Today, Steve asked the Tory MP if he was enjoying the subsidised dinners in the Commons and made a cheeky comment about Anderson’s expanding waistline.

Lee said: “It’s a new year, but you still don’t have a job, you are still a parasite, you are still a scrounger.

He then grabbed Steve’s hat off his head and a small struggle ensued.

Bray accuses the MP of theft, as Anderson turns on his heels and heads inside a building.

There were cries that he was assaulted, off camera, but nearby police officers don’t seem that bothered about it.

Bray then tweeted: “I need another long shower again!”

I need another long shower again!

The worthless parasite and hypocrite @LeeAndersonMP_ actually assaulted him; he only did it in a place he knew he could cower away though, like the scared and petulant little child he is. He's run scared if he didn't have protection new him.

Question for Sunak?

@RishiSunak Do you think this behaviour from one of your MPs is acceptable? You need to remove the whip from Tory MP Lee Anderson.https://t.co/fY28d2wx5c
