Former Conservative Party Deputy Chairman Lee Anderson has hit out at “giggling” Labour MPs, as the Rwanda Bill vote passes through Parliament with no amendments.
Speaking to GB News, Anderson revealed: “Last night I resigned as Deputy Chairman of the Conservative Party. That was a difficult decision, but I think the right thing to do.
“Tonight I was going to vote no. I went into the no lobby to vote no because I couldn’t see how I could support the bill after backing all the amendments. I spent about two or three minutes with a colleague in there.
“The Labour lot was all giggling and laughing and taking the mick, and I couldn’t do it. In my heart of hearts, I could not vote no.
“So I walked out and and come out. So I’ve abstained. I wanted to vote no, but when I saw that lot in there laughing, there’s no way I could support them above the party that’s given me a political home.”
