"Two of Anderson's videos were filmed from his taxpayer-funded parliamentary office, which could amount to a breach of rules prohibiting the commercial use of the Palace of Westminster. The Reform MP has already been found in breach of these rules, after he recorded a promotional clip for his GB News programme from the roof of the House of Commons."
"Farage, who has made at least 374,893 from the platform in the last five years, also sold videos that contained misogynistic remarks and references to antisemitic conspiracy theories. Farage's spokesperson said his Cameo videos should not be treated as political statements or campaign activity."
"Anderson, who had already been warned about commercial filming in Westminster, sold two videos filmed from what he called the beating heart of democracy in Westminster in early February 2025. Both were Valentine's Day messages sold for 45 and 56 via the video messaging app Cameo."
Reform UK MP Lee Anderson recorded two paid Valentine's Day messages from his parliamentary office via the Cameo app in February 2025, selling them for £45 and £56 respectively, with proceeds donated to charity. This follows a previous breach finding when he recorded a promotional clip for his GB News programme from the House of Commons roof. Anderson joined Cameo two days after his election in July 2024, following party leader Nigel Farage who has earned at least £374,893 from the platform. Farage's Cameo videos have faced scrutiny for containing far-right content, misogynistic remarks, and antisemitic conspiracy theory references. Anderson's 22 public videos contrast sharply with Farage's 1,794 videos over the same period.
