Lee Anderson was immediately ejected from the House, while Zara Sultana also continued to strongly criticize the Prime Minister, after which a resolution to suspend him was passed.
It should be noted that, according to the rules of the British Parliament, no member is allowed to accuse another member of lying, and such action has come to light for the first time since 2022.
