He is serving as Ashfield's MP
Serving as an MP is a role that inevitably comes with huge public and media attention, with Nottinghamshire's representatives having been no strangers to controversy over the years. But few MPs outside of the cabinet seem to have attracted as much attention as Ashfield's Lee Anderson.
Mr Anderson's time as a Labour councillor saw several such public displays of his anger with local authorities. In October of 2018, Mr Anderson hit out at his own Ashfield District Council over its refusal to clean two war memorials in time for the centenary of the end of the First World War. "Six years ago to the week Holly passed away and gave her lungs to my wife. It was our best Christmas present ever but a terrible time for Holly's family. We think of them every day and will always be grateful to them. Love to Holly's mum and family."
"Because I am telling you now, when I worked down those pits in Nottinghamshire, I worked with doctors, with brain surgeons, with airline pilots, with astronauts—with all these brilliant people who never had a chance." But speaking about why he felt he had to leave, he said: "I just thought to myself I don’t want to be signing condolence books for Fidel Castro." It was therefore in March 2018 when Mr Anderson and his fellow Labour defector Chris Baron joined the Conservative Party, marking the occasion with a photoshoot outside Mansfield MP Ben Bradley's constituency office.
