Ex-Tory MP Andrew Bridgen sues Matt Hancock over COVID vaccine row after joining Laurence Fox's Reclaim Party
Matt Hancock accused Andrew Bridgen of being antisemitic after the MP likened the COVID vaccine to the Holocaust, which got Mr Bridgen suspended and then permanently expelled from the Conservative 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".
He has launched a crowdfunding appeal for his legal action and said any excess funds will be donated to charities "supporting the COVID-injured and COVID-bereaved".
Mr Hancock has denied the allegations and called Mr Bridgen's legal action a "pathetic publicity stunt".
