Andrew Bridgen kicked out of Conservative party after Holocaust vaccines tweet - Evening Standard

The North West Leicestershire MP lost the Tory whip earlier this year for making the controversial comments.

But he has now been thrown out as an ordinary member of the party.

A Tory spokesman said: “Mr Bridgen was expelled from the Conservative Party on April 12 following the recommendation of a disciplinary panel."

He has until May 12 to appeal the decision.

Mr Bridgen claimed his expulsion was “under false pretences”.

He said he would still be standing as a candidate at the next election, fuelling speculation that he could join Laurence Fox's Reclaim Party.

“Above all else this is an issue of freedom of speech,” Mr Bridgen said.

“No elected Member of Parliament should ever be penalised for speaking on behalf of their constituents and those who have no such voice or platform.  

“As a vocal critic of the vaccine rollout amongst other issues such as net zero, illegal immigration, and political corruption the Party has been sure to make an example of me.  

“I am grateful for my newfound freedom and will continue to fight for justice, speech, and liberty.  I will continue to serve my constituents as I was elected to do and intend to stand again at the next election."

Earlier this year, Mr Bridgen 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."

Sharing a news article about the rise in excess deaths Britain is seeing as the NHS battles staffing shortages and strikes, he wrote: "Is the failure of the NHS also responsible for the current excess deaths in all other countries that administered the gene therapy mRNA ‘vaccines’?"

More than 650,000 deaths were registered in the UK last year- 9 per cent more than 2019.

NHS delays, an increase in flu cases and the aftermaths of the pandemic have been blamed for the rise.

Mr Bridgen's comments were condemned by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and former Health Secretary Matt Hancock

He was also suspended from the House of Commons earlier this year over his “careless and cavalier attitude” to lobbying rules and suggesting the woman investigating him could be bribed with a peerage.

He made multiple approaches to ministers and public officials on behalf of Mere Plantations, a UK-based reforestation company with forests in Ghana, for which he was initially paid £12,000 a year as an adviser, a report by the Standards Committee found.

It stated that Mr Bridgen then attempted to influence Standards Commissioner Kathryn Stone during her investigation by claiming he heard a “rumour” she would only receive a peerage if she ruled against him because he was an outspoken critic of then Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

Adblock test (Why?)
