Available for over a year

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. ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Health Reporter Rachel Schraer tells Ady Dayman what impact such disinformation has on the Public Health Message.
