Lee Anderson blasts disrespectful Home Office<\/h3>\n

Lee Anderson has blasted a \u201cvile hoax\u201d after someone claiming to be his son called LBC accusing his politician father of being a violent drunk.<\/p>\n

During Rachel Johnson\u2019s phone-in show yesterday evening, a distressed-sounding man called in claiming to be \u201cCharlie Anderson\u201d from Ashfield, Mr Anderson\u2019s constituency, and specifying his father is the senior Tory politician.<\/p>\n

Asked what his priorities are heading into the election, the individual said he would be voting Labour for the first time because his \u201cdad screamed at me the other night\u201d in addition to claiming he \u201cgrabbed me\u201d.<\/p>\n

The man claiming to be Mr Anderson\u2019s son made wild accusations, including that his father has said he was considering joining \u201ca Ukip or BNP party\u201d, and \u201ctried to head but me\u201d.<\/p>\n

Asked how old he was, the individual said 23 before quickly changing it to 24.<\/p>\n

Ms Johnson swiftly cut the caller off, saying it sounded like a \u201cvery personal issue\u201d and \u201cnot sure we should continue that\u201d.<\/p>\n

After being alerted to the claims made on the popular radio station, Mr Anderson slammed the hoax call as \u201cvile\u201d.<\/p>\n

In a statement on X, the Tory deputy chairman said it was a \u201cslur on my family\u201d and that he would be reporting it to the police.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cFor clarity, I do have a son called Charlie but he is 33 and not 23 as the male says in this clip.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe voice is a completely different accent to my son’s. The person who has made this hoax call is sick.<\/p>\n

\u201cI shall be reporting this to the police and so should LBC.\u201d<\/p>\n
