Lee Anderson responds to claims of links with far right groups

Lee Anderson has fired back to claims he has links to far-right groups.

The new deputy Tory chairman faces mounting questions over his links to alleged Nazi-supporting members of a scooter club.

The Mirror reported Ashfield MP Lee Anderson’s links to Skegby Scooter Club, Notts.

He was pictured with a club member who has worn a “white pride” T-shirt.

Video response

In the video, uploaded to Twitter, he defended himself against the claims.

He also wrote: “The Facts. Papers like the Daily Mirror have reported I have links to far right dodgy people as I had picture taken at a charity event with someone who listened to a punk band in the 90s who sang a song with Hitler in it. Really? The left must be rattled.”

Seem rattled Lee – these the same people that you described as the salt of the earth
What this video shows is your disregard for the concern and complete minimisation of the issue.

Considering you haven't denounced their views and boycotted the England team for taking a stance against racism, the MSM did right to report this! #30pLeeDoesNotSpeakForMe #ToriesOut222 #GeneralElectionNow pic.twitter.com/MODq2E3GZW

No Lee you should be ashamed of yourself for so many reasons, but as an MP you must know that we are all judged by the company we keep, your chickens are coming home to roost, you have pushed your luck too far, you made your bed so now lie in it, enjoy, fool! .

Body language Lee , body language !

Nose Touching – Rubbing the nose may also be a sign of deceit because the person is uncomfortable with what they are saying.

So basically you have met Nazis but didn't know that they held those views and don't want to condemn their views?

You don't look rattled mate.

You're running rings around the legacy media.

I can't believe the wokerati think Skrewdriver fans are far-right Nazis.

So you have never posted their picture on your Facebook?

Never given them a name check there?

It was just listening to a punk band and nothing to do with a white supremacist t-shirt or tattoo was it?

It was all somebody else was it?
