I don't think he's getting the whip back, so thread of his own. His Twitter is every bit as bad as you'd expect. Here's a relatively inoffensive example.

Here. formidable truth seeker Andrew, alert to misinformation, retweets a 5 second audio clip, very abruptly cut from context by James Melville. I wonder if he went on to say "as far as we know, these are very rare"?

Andrew and James also want you to think that an anodyne statement accepting that vaccines, like anything, may have side effects sometimes is the same thing as the shit they believe in about non-existent vaccine carnage.

Andrew retweets this. Miscarriages are sadly not particularly rare, as most people know. Estimates are between 10-20%

Andrew though sees no mathematical issue with them rising 57 fold.

In the words of my Uncle Bill, 'The man's a cunt'.

No more to be said.

Going back a bit here, Andrew with the Brains Trust (Matt Le Tissier) and getting it completely wrong.

Andrew here predicting arrests by the end of the month. If they don't happen, that'll prove there's a conspiracy.

I know someone who lived next door to Syd Barret. He’d periodically take his paintings into the garden, smash them up and burn them. Like Bridgen, Syd was happy enough.

The modern Conservative Party….

Plenty more a brain cell or two away from this guy, who do you think Badenoch and Dowden see on their trips over there.

We can laugh about it, but the sort of people he's buddying up to openly talk about lynch mobs and treason trials.

Expelled from the Tories.

Deposit losing election run next?

he’s off to form a new party with Piers Corbyn.

Woops. Called that one slightly wrong. In fact, Andy the Twat has announced today he is in fact joining Laurence Fox's "Reclaim" Party.

The Bert and Ernie for conspiracy nutters.

Fox is just pleased to be in a partnership where he's the good looking* one.

Surely in these circumstances the MP can no longer claim to represent the interests/views of the people who voted for them so therefore there should be a by-election.

I'd say there was a bit of competition behind the scenes among the lunatic fringe of the right-wing in looking to get Bridgen on board with them.

In reality you're probably correct.
But constitutionally, his constituents chose Andrew Bridgen, not the Conservative Party, to represent them.

There was an influx of former Tories pre-1997 who realised they weren't Tories after all.

An MP is, indeed, a representative, not a delegate, so their party (or none) is of no relevance until the next election. And they represent all of their constituents, not just those who voted for them.

Let the fuckwittery begin...

Former Conservative MP Andrew Bridgen has launched legal action against Matt Hancock after joining actor Laurence Fox's Reclaim Party.

Mr Bridgen was expelled from the Conservative Party in April after claiming in January the COVID-19 vaccine was "the biggest crime against humanity since the Holocaust".

Former health secretary Mr Hancock, who remains suspended from the Tories for appearing on I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here, condemned Mr Bridgen's comments as "antisemitic" at the time.

Mr Bridgen announced on Wednesday he has now submitted a defamation claim to the High Court as he said Mr Hancock's comments were an attempt to "shut down valid concerns expressed by me"....

This is one of those cases where you hope both parties end up losing.
