Defiant Andrew Bridgen condemns ‘corruption, collusion and cover-ups’ following his expulsion

Conservative MP Andrew Bridgen has been expelled from the Tory Party following remarks comparing Covid-19 vaccines to the Holocaust. Already stripped of the party whip and serving as an independent MP, Bridgen’s expulsion followed a disciplinary investigation that determined his comments breached lobbying rules. His claims, including describing the vaccine rollout as “the biggest crime against humanity since the Holocaust,” were denounced as “completely unacceptable” by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.

Bridgen, who has circulated anti-vaccine conspiracy theories to cabinet members, intends to appeal the decision but remains defiant. He plans to run for re-election, characterizing his expulsion as evidence of widespread political “corruption, collusion, and cover-ups.”
