It’s the first week back in the Commons after last week’s landslide Labour win, and no-one is keener to tell you about it than the five Reform UK MPs.
There’s no space here for all the various slo-mo and massively cringe-inducing videos which they’ve been pumping out, but there is room for this particular tweet by former Labour, former Conservative, and current Reform UK-er, Lee Anderson.

And we mention it because we can’t imagine how excited he presumably was to come up with the fox in the henhouse thing – or how excited he was after someone else came up with it – but it might be the truest thing he’s said.
Because – this.
Blimey, Anderson’s accidentally got it spot on here. https://t.co/lqKerqidpc pic.twitter.com/zYkM2Z1DWu

Self-own of the week? Probably.
I love that these Reform bozos are such utter morons. They literally give everyone free hits with their phenomenal levels of stupidity and incompetence. Bravo! https://t.co/63YPvNSeeC

And they weren’t the only ones to point it out.
The fox in the henhouse is a metaphor for someone untrustworthy placed in a position of trust in which they will be harmful and damaging for their own personal gain.
Is Mr Anderson particularly dim? https://t.co/M7tf0Wqphi

Technically if they don’t have waterspouts coming out of them they’re grotesques
