MP blasts Tories after party switch

The Ashfield MP, who lost the Tory whip last month after making widely criticised remarks about Sadiq Khan, said he found it "unpalatable" that he had been disciplined for "speaking my mind".

In an open attack on the party that had formerly elevated him to deputy chairman, Mr Anderson claimed other Tory MPs share his views but will not stick their heads "above the parapet". He announced his switch to the right-wing populist party at a press conference alongside Reform UK leader Richard Tice in London yesterday.
