description: "Andrew James Bridgen is a British former politician who served as Member of Parliament (MP) for North West Leicestershire from 2010 until 2024. He was a member of the Conservative Party until his expulsion in April 2023, having had the whip suspended in January after criticising the efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines and claiming that a cardiologist told him it constitutes \"the biggest crime against humanity since the Holocaust\". He joined the Reclaim Party in May 2023 but resigned from the party in December 2023."
