Lee Anderson made a brutal one-word takedown about Keir Starmer (Image: Getty)
Lee Anderson has issued a brutal one-word takedown over a key election promise made by Keir Starmer. His scathing comment supported a mock letter penned by fellow Reform member, Rael Braverman, asking X how many gangs had been "smashed" since Labour's takeover, a word Starmer repeatedly used in his election campaign in reference to smugglers in the English Channel.
Braverman, who joined Reform in December 2024, asked: "Dear Labour, Can we get an update, please, on how many gangs have been smashed? Many thanks." In a brutal takedown, Lee Anderson, the Reform UK MP for Ashfield, quipped a one-word conclusion, simply writing: "Zero." In the 12 months since Starmer became Prime Minister, around 44,000 migrants have arrived.

Those who arrive by small boats will face an almost impossible task of becoming a British citizen. Previously, refugees who entered this way could apply for citizenship after 10 years.
The changes mean that anyone deemed to have entered the country illegally - including those already here - will not be able to apply for citizenship.
Ministers are also spending ￡150 million to establish a new Border Security Command to lead efforts to tackle the issue.
