Watch: Anti-Brexit activist called ‘parasite’ who looks like a ‘tramp’ by Tory MP

A regular anti-Brexit activist has been verbally assaulted by a Tory MP.

Lee Anderson MP told activist Steve Bray he was: “nothing but a parasite.”

He launched the verbal tirade against Bray outside parliament, telling him: “You’re nothing but a parasite”.

Liar

The row started after the MP was asked by Bray whether he would still be supporting “liar” Boris Johnson.

Mr Anderson, who was accompanied by guests and two police officers at the time, looked angry after this question and said: “At least I’ve got a job to lose, you haven’t got one.”

The activist then replied saying: “My job’s annoying and holding people like you to account.”

But the MP shot back: “You’re nothing but a parasite. We’ve established that. You’re a scrounger. Why are you here dressed like a tramp?”

Charming!
