What do you think of this protest?
Liberal Democrat councillors were turned away from Lee Anderson's office in Sutton after attempting to deliver 48,000 leaflets to the MP which highlight some of his views. The party had produced a leaflet mentioning four of the Conservative Ashfield MP's comments which it disagrees with, including his support for bringing back the death penalty and his view that some of those using food banks would benefit from budgeting advice.
Taking the post literally, two Liberal Democrat politicians turned up at Lee Anderson's constituency office in Sutton on Wednesday with boxes containing 48,000 of the leaflets, which had been paid for after a fundraising effort among Liberal Democrat members. A Liberal Democrat spokesperson claimed the leaflets had cost hundreds of pounds to print and said they had been produced in Chesterfield, with a courier travelling to Sutton from the Derbyshire town to drop them off.
Baroness Pinnock said: "We're challenging some of these easy statements, it's what I call the man in the pub who is all mouth and no trousers. These are complicated issues and they need thoughtful answers to them. After unloading some of the boxes from the van, Cllr Hallam and Baroness Pinnock went to the front door of Mr Anderson's office, where they were greeted by someone who told them: "This is a parliamentary office, we can't accept these. You'll have to speak to the Ashfield Conservative Association."
