Following a successful business career, Andrew Bridgen has been a dedicated and productive Member of Parliament for North West Leicestershire since 2010. Over the past decade he has helped thousands of constituents and run many high profile campaigns to ensure that they have a strong voice in Westminster. Prior to entering politics he attended his local public school and Nottingham University. He also trained as an officer in the Royal Marines.
Many predicted that Andrew Bridgen's professional background and strong performance as an MP would have guaranteed him a ministerial position and promotion within the Conservative Party. But that didn't happen. Why? Because Andrew Bridgen had the courage to stand up in Parliament and voice his concerns about COVID-19 policy and vaccines.
He recently secured two recess debates (December 13, 2022 and March 17, 2023) initially spoke to only a handful of lawmakers on both occasions about the issue, and even that small number was dwindled further as some lawmakers were actively encouraged to walk out of the chamber, resulting in unprecedented cross-party whipping. In front of the camera.
So what was Andrew Bridgen's reward for having the courage to stand up and speak out about Covid-19 and vaccine safety? The swift withdrawal of his Conservative leadership and widespread personal condemnation by Britain's mainstream media. He now sits as an independent.
