The Reform UK MP for Ashfield will now have to make an apology
Ashfield MP Lee Anderson left a parliamentary security officer "upset and intimidated" after swearing at him over a dispute involving his pass. The Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards has concluded that the Reform UK MP swore twice at the member of staff, with Mr Anderson alleged to have said: "F*** off, everyone opens the door to me, you are the only one."
The MP therefore had to go through a search point, where he asked the security officer to open the door providing access to Parliament. The security officer did not let him through, allegedly telling Mr Anderson he would have to ring a security number. The new report says the security officer affected has now moved to a different job in Parliament, saying: " highlighted the power imbalance between Mr Anderson as an MP and the complainant as a security officer and the importance of the Parliamentary Behaviour Code's requirement that the respondent 'recognise his power, influence and authority' and not to 'abuse them'.
