Lee Anderson is kicked out of the Commons for accusing the PM of lying

Reform UK MP Lee Anderson was removed from the House of Commons for accusing Sir Keir Starmer of lying, as the Prime Minister gave an update on the latest revelations about Lord Peter Mandelson’s appointment as US ambassador.Mr Anderson, the MP for Ashfield, told the Commons that Sir Keir had “been lying” throughout the scandal.He told the Commons: “The problem the Prime Minister’s got is no one believes him. The public don’t believe him. The MPs on this side of the House don’t believe him. His own gullible backbenchers don’t believe him.“So does the Prime Minister agree with me, he’s been lying?”The House of Commons’ rules prevent MPs from accusing one another of telling lies, or deliberately misleading one another, and the Reform UK MP was asked by Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle to withdraw his comments.
