Lee Anderson MP under investigation from watchdog for using roof of taxpayer-funded office to film TV show

Tory deputy chair Lee Anderson is being investigated by Commons authorities after he filmed a promo video for his £100,000-a-year TV gig from Parliament's roof. The Ashfield MP has begun hosting a weekly programme on GB News - after slamming MPs for taking second jobs.

According to The Mirror, Mr Anderson had recorded a plug for the Friday night show on top of one of the buildings on the Parliamentary Estate. The MP used the location overlooking Whitehall and Parliament Square for the clip in which he pleaded for viewers to get in contact with questions for him.

“Have you got a problem and got nobody to turn to? Well look no further. Agony Anderson will solve all your problems,” he said. “Contact me if you’ve got any problems, whether they are social or personal.”
