A top Reform MP has furiously blasted the House of Lords after angrily complaining that the insurgent party has been sidelined.

In a six-word broadside, Lee Anderson said the party was being “kept out of the democratic process” by not having any members of the upper chamber, despite having a “fair chunk” of public support.

The House of Lords is currently made up of 224 Labour members, 245 Conservatives, and several Liberal Democrats, as well as bishops and crossbench peers.

Despite having several MPs and securing four million votes at the 2024 General Election, as well as regularly leading the opinion polls, Reform UK has none.

In a blistering attack on GB News, the Ashfield MP said: “Our support is growing. We’ve got the largest political party in the country. I think it’s only fair that we should have seats in the House of Lords.

“We haven’t got any Lords sitting in, so we’re shunned out. They’re trying to keep us quiet. Reform UK isn’t allowed in there. And that’s just wrong.

“It’s wrong for us as democratically elected members of Parliament. And it’s wrong for the millions of people that support us up and down the country that want a voice in the House of Lords.”

In a cutting insult, he added: “I would say it’s the most expensive care home in Europe at the moment, when you see them doddering about going in and out.”
