Lee Anderson embarrassed the Labour in Parliament with a shocking question (Video)
Reform UK MP Lee Anderson left the entire Parliament in shock after posing a blunt and provocative question to the Labour government about their newly appointed Health Minister, Ashley Dalton. Dalton, who recently took over the role after Andrew Gwyn was sacked over offensive WhatsApp messages, has faced scrutiny for her past comments supporting the idea that people should be allowed to self-identify as animals if they wish.
Anderson didn’t hold back during his time in the spotlight. Addressing the Speaker of the House, he asked a question that left everyone in the chamber stunned: “The new Health Minister has stated that it’s okay for human beings to present as an animal. So, what I want to know is, if I have a family member who presents as an animal suddenly becomes ill in the middle of the night, do they send for a doctor, a vet, or a straightjacket?”
The question was met with a mix of gasps, laughter, and awkward silence, as MPs tried to process Anderson’s bold challenge. The response from the Labour benches was equally telling, with the Minister for Public Health attempting to deflect the question by emphasizing the importance of treating everyone with “dignity and respect.” However, the damage was already done, and Anderson’s question has since gone viral, sparking a fierce debate both inside and outside Parliament.
Anderson’s pointed remarks have reignited discussions about Dalton’s controversial views on self-identification and whether they align with the responsibilities of her new role as Health Minister. Critics argue that such comments undermine the seriousness of the position, while supporters of Dalton claim that Anderson’s question was a cheap shot designed to distract from real issues.
The incident has also raised broader questions about the Labour government’s decision-making and whether they are prioritizing ideology over practicality. Anderson’s question has resonated with many who feel that the government is out of touch with the concerns of ordinary people, particularly when it comes to healthcare and public services.
As the clip of Anderson’s question continues to circulate online, it has sparked a wave of reactions. Some have praised him for calling out what they see as absurd policies, while others have accused him of using inflammatory rhetoric to score political points. Regardless of where you stand, one thing is clear: Lee Anderson has once again proven he’s not afraid to stir the pot in Parliament.
