A Conservative MP has sparked outrage after asking a prominent anti-Brexit protestor: why havent you been sectioned yet?<\/p>\n
Lee Anderson confronted Steve Bray outside the Houses of Parliament this week, in the aftermath of the Tory backbench rebellion against Boris Johnson.<\/p>\n
The MPs insult was called out by opposition figures, with Labours Dr Rosena Allin-Khan saying that politicians should not use mental health tropes when responding to criticism.<\/p>\n
Sharing a video of the altercation on Twitter, the Labour MP who is also the shadow minister for mental health said: Being sectioned is a very traumatic experience and has a huge impact on the lives of people and their families. Lee Anderson should apologise.<\/p>\n
It is not the first scrape Bray has got into in recent days. Earlier this week, another Tory MP made an offensive gesture towards after Bray confronted him outside a Westminster pub.<\/p>\n
Paul Bristol, the Conservative MP for Peterborough, told Bray to fuck off after he approached him while he was having a drink.<\/p>\n
Bristol later said that Bray who he called a public nuisance disturbed him while he was spending time with his family.<\/p>\n
