| 1623612640449777664 | Instead of throwing more red meat to the foaming mouthed Tory faithful, death penalty advocate 30p Lee Anderson should watch this. Ian Hislop destroying Priti Patel's support for capital punishment. "It's not a deterrent if you kill the wrong people." https://t.co/Dyf1AIl42e | 3148 |
| 1623641174673072130 | Lee Anderson doesn't want you to hear this https://t.co/IKsJuHEXvX | 2234 |
| 1623786309838929922 | Lady in audience, "We've seen the Home Secretary peddling dangerous right wing rhetoric, Jonathan Gullis shouting abuse to vulnerable abducted children, now the promotion of Lee Anderson. The fact that anybody can sit there and defend that, is frankly appalling." #BBCQT https://t.co/BKTkK3DiiE | 2120 |
| 1624018914555338752 | Lee Anderson linked to 'far-right' man with white supremacist tattoo Good that at least some of the media are seeing this as a potential issue #ToriesOut218 #SunakOut109 #StrongerTogether #EnoughIsEnough #GeneralElectionNow https://t.co/ShejhzaewK | 1398 |
| 1623626570580516871 | Pro-hanging, anti taking the knee. I salute the new Conservative Deputy Chairman Lee Anderson. Lefties will hate him, he’s a winner. https://t.co/THCB5EOYlb | 1391 |
| 1623623568641720321 | How does Lee Anderson's conduct in this interview fit with your aim to govern with integrity, professionalism, and accountability, @RishiSunak? https://t.co/motadqVOfL | 1339 |
| 1623787157189001216 | I'm only 2 years younger than Lee Anderson. I grew up in a northern, Red Wall constituency, raised in a council house by a mechanic dad and a disabled mum. I left my state school at 16 to work in a shops and manual work. His background is not an excuse. He's just an arsehole. https://t.co/EsUVuY2AVr | 1283 |
| 1623772454891016195 | Retweet if you think this man is a breath of fresh air, the man speaks for millions, Lee Anderson is Mr Common Sense. https://t.co/fbd647Gpb2 | 1187 |
| 1623767836949639170 | Two days into the job and Lee Anderson has threatened a radio presenter and called for the return of the death penalty. So it's all going pretty much as expected. | 1095 |
| 1623636799460462597 | Making Lee Anderson the deputy chair of their party is the final step in the Conservative party becoming UKIP. It's increasingly difficult to see how they reverse that process, even if at some point they want to. | 933 |

| 1623631094112260099 | I agree with MP Lee Anderson, why would anyone be against the death penalty in severe cases such as a prolific paedophile/ a child murderer or serial murderer? Why should we pay to imprison & feed these monsters for the rest of their lives, or risk them doing it again?.. | 7289 |
| 1623618247290396674 | On hanging, MP Lee Anderson says; "You can prove it if they have video like Lee Rigby killers ( islamists stabbed to death a British army soldier in Woolwich ). I mean they should have gone, the same week. I don't want to pay for these people." Good points. | 6512 |
