Who is Andrew Bridgen? Tory MP loses party whip for Covid comments

Tory MP Andrew Bridgen has lost the whip for comparing the Covid vaccination rollout to the Holocaust.

The MP tweeted: “We know the ‘vaccines’ are causing serious harms and now it’s becoming increasingly clear how they are doing it. No wonder so many people are ill since vaccination.

“As one consultant cardiologist said to me this is the biggest crime against humanity since the Holocaust.”

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak appeared to condemn Mr Bridgen‘s comments saying “it is utterly unacceptable to make linkages and use language like that”.
