Lee Anderson told to apologise for 'swearing at security officer' in parliament
Wednesday, 6 November 2024 () Reform MP Lee Anderson has been told to apologise in the House of Commons for "swearing twice at a security officer after his pass did not work" as he tried to enter parliament.
The opposition chief whip in the House of Commons has weighed in on the controversial comments about maternity pay at the Conservative conference. Kemi Badenoch had said statutory maternity pay, set up to support mothers for 39 weeks after having a baby, is a "function of tax" which she described as "excessive". Stuart Andrew says the Tory leadership candidates are entitled to "stand up for what they believe in and put that forward to the party."
