Lee Anderson rejects 48,000 leaflets delivered by Lib Dems

By The Voice | Thu 16th February 2023 - 9:57 am

Be careful what you wish for. The controversial deputy chairman of the Tory Party, former Labour MP Lee Anderson took umbrage at a Lib Dem leaflet highlighting his view on the death penalty, food banks, nuisance tenants and the death penalty joked on Twitter that if 48,000 leaflets were dropped off, he would deliver them himself in his constituency. He is trying to lose weight and delivering 48,000 leaflets would certainly help.

In a cunning move, Liberal Democrat peer and councillor for Cleckheaton ward on Kirklees Council Baroness Kath Pinnock duly dropped off 48,000 leaflets at Anderson’s constituency office.

They were rejected by Anderson’s staff who said that political leaflets could not be stored in a constituency office. When asked where the constituency office was, the office staff refused to divulge the information.

Maybe Lee Anderson is embarrassed about his views after all?

People are desperate for help with the cost of living and our struggling NHS, not Conservative politicians who stoke controversy for the sake of it.https://t.co/nzpRYUWZiY
