Laurence Fox's 'house searched by police' after suspension from GB News
Laurence Fox has been filmed in a video in which he has claimed his property is being searched by police.
In a clip shared by the Reclaim Political Party, which was launched by the former actor, he is seen sitting on his sofa while cops search his home.
In the video, posted on the political party's Twitter page, Laurence sits on the sofa and points around his home telling viewers: "Look how many coppers there are around my house". The camera then pans around to show uniformed police officers wearing blue plastic gloves and holding clear plastic bags, which they appear to be putting items from Laurence's home into.

That, ladies and gentleman, is the country that we live in," he says as the camera pans back around to him and he takes a puff of his cigar.
As The Reclaim Party shared the video on X, formerly known as Twitter, the political party wrote above the clip: "Live now @LozzaFox is having his house searched by the police."

It comes just moments after Ofcom revealed Laurence's misogynistic comments on Dan Wootton's GB News show has broken the record as the most complained about moment this year.
Fox was suspended from GB News last week following his misogynistic rant (GB News)Laurence, 45, launched a sexist verbal attack against journalist Ava Evans following her opinion on the idea of having a minister for men, which she discussed on BBC Politics Live. The actor branded Ava a "little woman" and remarked "who'd wanna shag that" in the disgusting TV broadcast, which later saw himself and host Dan Wootton suspended from GB News.
The media watchdog previously confirmed they had launched an investigation into the Dan Wootton Show under rule 2.3 of the Broadcasting Code, in which broadcasters must ensure material which may cause offence is justified by the context. But, the broadcasting regulator has now confirmed it has received 8,846 complaints in relation to the comments made by Fox.
Dan issued a grovelling apology in the wake of the backlash over the broadcast, while Laurence stood firm on his comments – before later issuing an apology to Ava in a 15 minute video shared on Twitter, in which he also slammed GB News and his former friend Dan.
Speaking to the camera, he said he knows that GB News are going to sack him, but he wanted to clear his own conscience by apologising to Ava Evans for using the word 'shag' in his rant. However, he said that he did stand by what he said in telling all self-respecting men to 'run a mile' from her.
In the clip, he explained: "I went on the Dan Wootton show. I told them exactly what I was going to say and I think that people found it amusing. They knew what I was going to say and I think I did even mention to the producer the use of the word 'shag' - which I don't think is the world's worst word. The point I should have made, was to say that men who are traditionally stoic men should probably avoid women who don't like them very much and women who dismiss male suicide. If I was going to be sensible and I could re-play it, I would say that any self-respecting man in 2023 would be well advised to avoid a woman who possesses that worldview because she will probably cause him nothing but harm.
"But what I did say was, 'I wouldn't shag that', which is not right. It's demeaning to Ava so I am sorry for demeaning her in that way. However angry I am with her still, I am sorry for doing that. And it demeans me because it's not representative of who I am and also I'm not saying any of this stuff - I know I'm going to get sacked tomorrow - I'm saying this stuff to clear my own conscience."
