Senior Tory Lee Anderson broke MPs code by filming on Commons roof
The Guardian Lee Anderson, the Conservative partys deputy chair, has been found to have broken parliamentary rules by filming a promotional clip for his GB News programme from the roof of the House of Commons.
The senior Tory apologised and promised not to do it again after admitting having breached the MPs code of conduct by being filmed on the roof terrace and sending an email advertising his programme from his parliamentary email address.
Using Parliament Square and Whitehall as the backdrop, the MP for Ashfield had asked viewers to get in touch with their problems for a chance to appear on his weekly show.
He is paid 100,000 a year by GB News for eight hours work a week. On his debut show in June, he described Brexit as a great decision, interviewed guests such as the former Ukip leader Nigel Farage and spoon-fed baked beans to his fellow Tory MP Brendan Clarke-Smith in a taste test of different brands.
