Lee Anderson delivered a humorous swipe at Jeremy Corbyn in the Commons this week, but it was met with a stony faced response from Labour's Angela Eagle.
The former Labour leader now sits on the opposition benches just behind the Reform group of MPs, a point he made in a disparaging remark that got Anderson to his feet. Corbyn was clearly angry about Starmer's migration speech and asked if his successor was 'trying to please these people who unfortunately sit in front of me'. Nigel Farage can be seen chuckling as Corbyn speaks.
Watch the clip below.
Eagle took advantage of the joke in order to not answer the question and instead issue a miserable rebuke towards both Anderson and his party. Despite having a history of animosity towards Corbyn during his Labour leadership, including repeated public sniping and a failed leadership challenge, Eagle spoke glowingly of Corbyn. It seems that shit sticks together on both wings of the party when it comes to the dreaded Reform.
Anderson's Reform colleague James McMurdock can be seen having an exchange with Corbyn as Eagle delivered her response.
Watch the clip below.
Eagle's bizarre suggestion that Anderson may not have been joking and Reform could somehow 'deport' Corbyn was mirrored by some demented leftists on social media. One called for him to be 'suspended' for the remark, while completely ignoring Corbyn's earlier jibe. Another called for Corbyn to 'sue' Anderson.
NOTE: Jeremy Corbyn is a British citizen, born and bred here to British parents. Even if it was possible to deport him somewhere - which would be illegal on every imaginable level - to which country do these leftists imagine that Reform would send him?
It's just as well that we still have MPs like Anderson who, unlike the left, possess a sense of humour. He is without doubt one of the most entertaining members ever to grace the floor of the Commons and we hope he keeps his place there for many years to come.
