Exclusive: Mr Bridgen said he had been messaging government ministers following his Covid tweet

MP Andrew Bridgen “bombarded” cabinet ministers with Covid claims before he lost the Conservative whip for linking the vaccine to the Holocaust.

The Conservative Party’s chief whip Simon Hart also said Mr Bridgen had “crossed a line” and had “caused great offence in the process”.
