Lee Anderson takes swipe as Lib Dems to sing sweary anti-Brexit song at conference event
The Liberal Democrats will sing a rewritten version of a Mary Poppins song featuring sweary Brexit lyrics at conference event.
Lee Anderson has taken a swipe at the Lib Dems as they prepare to sing an expletive-laden anti-Brexit song at their conference tonight.
Activists have rewritten a version of Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious from Mary Poppins featuring the lyric: “It's b******s-b*****y-b****r-knackers-f*****g-c**t to Brexit, we’ll leave them in no doubt that we’re the party that rejects it.
"When you swear like dockers, you know everyone respects it, b******s-b*****y-b****r-knackers-f*****g-c**t to Brexit."
The song is set to be sung by Lib Dem members and MPs at their Glee Club event on the last night of the party's autumn conference in Brighton.
In a quip referring to the lyrics of another Mary Poppins song, Reform MP Mr Anderson said: "I think the Lib Dems need a 'spoonful of British sugar to help the Brexit medicine go down'."

The infamous Glee Club event features rewritten versions of popular songs.
The tunes are written by party activists from the satirical Liberator magazine, with the anti-Brexit ditty a new addition to the Liberator Song Book this year.
Mr Anderson, who represents Ashfield, last year branded the Lib Dem gathering as a "freak show".
His comment came after activists penned a new version of the Three Lions football song for Glee Club, with the new lyrics demanding the UK rejoin the EU.
Instead of the "it's coming home" chant, the rewritten tune said: "We'll go back in."
Mr Anderson said at the time: "A big thanks to the Daily Express for ruining my week away by reminding me of the political freak show that has been taking place in Bournemouth.
"It sounds like the whole of the Lib Dem parliamentary party will be leaving on their one minibus while singing their new silly songs. Ed Davey is no Ed Sheeran."
Reform leader Nigel Farage branded the new anti-Brexit song as "rather vulgar".
He told The Telegraph: “For a party that tries to pretend they’re nice all the time, they strike me as being rather vulgar.”
