Lee Anderson has delivered a devastating verdict on Labour Party leader Sir Keir Starmer while filming an exclusive Express documentary about his remarkable rise from ex-miner to Member of Parliament.
Touring his home town and constituency, Sutton-in-Ashfield, the Reform UK MP was asked what he made of the Prime Minister "as a leader and a man" - to which the ex-Tory deputy chairman quipped: "He could be a lizard.

READ MORE Lee Anderson names the UK towns that would vote Donald Trump
He has consistently argued that not enough people like him ascend to the highest office, which is too often occupied by “career politicians”.
Anderson believes this group's disconnect from “real people” is powering dramatic changes in the political allegiances of voters in his constituency, who have shifted from Labour to Conservative and now Reform UK.
He suggested this was a sign Britain was set to follow the US in having post-industrial regions shift to the Right, a change that would enable Nigel Farage to storm to power like his friend Donald Trump did on the other side of the Atlantic last year.
“These are the [so-called] 'far-Right racists'. You know, people on minimum wage who have seen and digested massive changes. They've gone from being traditional Labour voters to first-time Tory voters in 2019 to voting for me and Reform,” he told the Express.

The former Tory deputy leader, who sensationally jumped ship to Nigel Farage’s party before the last election, also had his say on Elon Musk's suggestion that Reform needed a change of leadership.
Backing his current leader as being “dignified”, Anderson said people needed to maintain a sense of perspective when it came to social media.
