Lee Anderson’s question to republican protester shut down by vexed Committee chair

Look at those reactions!

Lee Anderson’s question to a republican protester was so irrelevant it had to be immediately shut down by a visibly frustrated Committee chair.

The Tory MP joined delegates in a Commons Home Affairs Committee investigating the police handling of protests leading up to the King’s coronation.

The session was disrupted by Just Stop Oil protesters early on.

It was then revealed that police arrested volunteers in spite of a direct partnership between their organisation and the Metropolitan Police, with the force’s logo displayed on their jackets.

But the most irrelevant question of the day was handed to deputy Tory chair Lee Anderson, who used the platform to burst into a bizarre political rant.

Thankfully, Dame Diana Johnson, the Labour chairwoman, was on hand to stop him in his tracks:

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
