LAURENCE Fox has been arrested by police after having his home raided by officers.
In a post on Twitter/X by the Reclaim Party – which was set up by Fox in 2020 - the 45-year-old former actor and suspended GB News presenter was seen in his home as officers appear to search and bag up his possessions.
Speaking to the person filming, he said: “Coming after Lozza.

Fox takes a puff on his cigar before putting his thumbs up to the camera.

It comes after Ofcom revealed they received more than 8000 complaints about Laurence Fox's
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
