Reform UK's Lee Anderson has taken a swipe at Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer after Argentina's President made critical remarks about the UK following weeks of horrific riots.
Javier Milei, Argentina's radical right-wing leader, said in a speech this week: "Those crazy socialists in Britain are putting people in prison for posting on social networks."

He added: "It really comes to something when a South American country is criticising the UK on the subject of free speech.
"And to all those on the Left thinking this is funny then think on - eventually they will come for you."
It is not clear what Milei is referring to, but his comments come as multiple people are charged for their alleged involvement in the riots that have recently swept across the UK.

Miliei has also raised eyebrows in the UK with his comments regarding the Falkland Islands since he took office in Buenos Aires.
In May, he told the BBC that the dispute over who has sovereignty over the islands could last decades.
He added: “We are not going to relinquish our sovereignty, nor are we going to seek conflict with the United Kingdom."
