It’s just a matter of weeks since Lee Anderson was the Deputy Chairman of the Conservative Party, but on Wednesday, he crossed the floor of the House of Commons and took his seat as the newly defected Reform UK MP for Ashfield.
Whether by accident or design, he found himself sitting next to George Galloway, the newly elected Workers’ Party of Great Britain MP for Rochdale.

It must have been a little awkward …
Galloway and Anderson will probably have to sit next to each other in Parliament now (Anderson crosses the floor today) pic.twitter.com/hSPyiNShaC

Anderson knows he’s fucked. You can see it in him. Galloway will just keep doing his tiresome hateful bullshit forever, accomplishing nothing. Both human cul-de-sacs. https://t.co/fMlGRbLMFU

Arguably the two fartiest-looking MPs we have. Hard to know if it’s better they’re kept together for odour containment, or whether they should be kept apart lest their guffs combine into something civilisation-threatening https://t.co/Hfe19GNFmx

Both Brexiteers, both social conservatives, both former Labour members, not such an odd couple. https://t.co/zkhOXTScwF
