Lee Anderson has erupted as a number of Labour MPs have called for a new airport in Pakistan despite an invasion of what he called "super giant rats" in a major British city. The Reform UK MP pointed out that Birmingham representatives in the House of Commons are advocating for the infrastructure while their city is still in the grips of a huge bin strike. He said on X: "What A Load Of Rubbish. Birmingham Labour MPs are campaigning for a new airport in Pakistan whilst giant super rats have taken over the streets of Brum due to the bin strike."
He added from the green benches: "We have Labour Birmingham MPs campaigning for a new airport in Pakistan. Meanwhile, we have rats the size of cats in Birmingham feasting on a month's worth of rubbish courtesy of the trade union friends of the party opposite. Simple question to the minister: When is this rubbish going to be cleared?" The Reform UK MP referred to a group of MPs from the Labour Party taking to social media to voice their support for the project of building the airport in Mirpur, a district within the disputed Kashmir region currently administered by Pakistan. Among them was Tahir Ali, the Labour MP for Birmingham New Hall.

On Monday, Birmingham City Council declared a major incident, as it estimated 17,000 tonnes of waste remained uncollected around the city.
Members of the Unite union in Birmingham are holding an all-out strike in a long-running dispute, after the scrapping of waste collection and recycling officer roles, which has led to rubbish piling up in the streets and residents complaining about rats.

A rat catcher in Birmingham told the i paper that he is about to take his first day off in two-and-a-half months because he is “absolutely shattered”.
Will Timms added he has been "heaving" due to the stench of rat urine in the air.
He said the scale of the crisis is “unbelievable”.
