Everything “good” in the world started in Britain, Tory Party deputy chairman Lee Anderson has claimed.
Anderson, who was elected to the House of Commons as the MP for Ashfield in 2019, also said while he is proud to be British he is “even prouder to be an Englishman”.
Speaking during his first show on GB News last night, the 56-year-old said: “Look, we are a great country.
“We are a gift to the world. We are now an independent, trading, sovereign nation, a gift to the world.
