Andrew Bridgen: he’s not a Tory MP anymore.

The Conservative Party has expelled Andrew Bridgen for saying Covid-19 vaccinations were “the biggest crime against humanity since the Holocaust”.

A party disciplinary panel said he had to go for making the comparison, and for breaching lobbying rules.

He had failed to declare an interest in a firm called Mere Plantations while lobbying on behalf of that firm, He had also attacked the integrity of then-Standards Commissioner Kathryn Stone, and he tried to claim that her investigation was part of a personal attack by whoever made the complaint against him (further details are here).

Everybody involved seems to be delighted, for a change.

The Tories are happy to be rid of Bridgen, with prime minister Rishi Sunak saying Bridgen’s comments were “totally unacceptable”. Whether that’s true or not, This Writer will leave for you to decide.

And Bridgen seems happy to be out of the Tory Party, saying he had been expelled under “false pretences” amid a “culture of corruption, collusion and cover-ups”.

He said the Conservative Party had made an example of him because of his vocal criticism of the vaccine rollout.

He said he would “continue to fight for justice for all those harmed, injured and bereaved due to governmental incompetence” – and he’ll campaign to be returned to his Parliamentary seat at the next general election.

It seems the House of Commons is filling up with MPs who have been cut loose from their parties, saying it is the parties’ dogma that is at fault.

How long before they become the largest group in Parliament?
