Lee Anderson and anti-Brexit campaigner Steve Bray were involved in a “scuffle” in dramatic scenes in Westminster yesterday. The incident occurred following Prime Minister’s Questions (PMQs) when the Reform chief whip tried to remove Mr Bray’s hat.
Mr Bray branded the former Tory party deputy chairman “a coward, a thug, a thief” before the pair physically came together.
He then asked Anderson: “How many parties have you been in, Lee? You just jump ship.” Mr Anderson’s response wasn’t audible, but as he spoke he appeared to try to grab Mr Bray’s hat.
In response, Mr Bray exclaimed “that’s assault”, before pushing Mr Anderson. The police broke the pair up

Rupert Lowe shared a video and wrote: “Following swearing at a Parliamentary security guard, this is a pattern of bullying and aggressive behaviour from Anderson. I look forward to seeing how Reform deals with this concerning development.”
Steve also shared the clip.
One person wrote: “So this is the second occasion that @LeeAndersonMP_ has assaulted a member of the public – why aren’t you talking to him about his behaviour @metpoliceuk ? Both instances have been caught on camera, yet you do nothing?”
Steve then replied, saying: “3rd or 4th actually … defo 3rd time on me.”
