Andrew Bridgen suspended as Conservative MP for spreading misinformation about Covid vaccination
Andrew Bridgen has been suspended as a Conservative MP for spreading misinformation about Covid vaccination.
It comes after the North West Leicestershire MP posted a tweet that compared vaccines to the Holocaust.
Tory chief whip Simon Hart said the comments had "crossed a line" and caused great offence.
The decision means that Mr Bridgen will have to sit as an independent in the Commons.
