For spreading COVID misinformation.
Some on here were linking his speech to parliament a while back.
They'll no doubt now cry that the Tory chief whip is in cahoots with " Big Pharma."

That was me did the linking.
Dunno if it would really be in the interests of those in power who had spent billions awarding contracts to themselves and their friends to properly look into any allegations of cover ups and impropriety during the pandemic.
 
He tweeted that a cardiologist told him it was the biggest crime against humanity since the holocaust.
Can someone please explain why this is classed as antisemitic as I genuinely dont know.

Did anyone say it was antiemetic? Starmer didn’t, generally pointed as being deeply offensive to compare it to the holocaust.
 
Seems it was Sunak and Handoncock

At Prime Minister’s Questions, Rishi Sunak condemned Mr Bridgen’s remarks as “utterly unacceptable” telling the Commons he was “determined that the scourge of anti-Semitism is eradicated”.

Matt Hancock, a former health secretary, hit out at the “disgusting, anti-Semitic, anti-vax conspiracy theories” at Prime Minister’s Questions on Wednesday. Mr Hancock said the comments were “deeply offensive” and “have no place in this House or in our wider society”.
 
On the face of it,his tweet doesn't appear to be anti Semitic, his tweet when regarding the vaccine says it's the biggest crime against humanity since the Holocaust.
However, the whip appears to have been removed mainly due to his ever increasing spread of misinformation regarding the vaccine.
Maybe any reference to the Holocaust was the final straw.

Which takes me back to my first post on this thread
 
I think they just want Bridgen out. He's a (political) trouble maker and thorn in the side of the last 3 PMs. And now he's given them an opportunity to get rid
