North West Leicestershire MP Andrew Bridgen has joined Reclaim, a party set up by actor Laurence Fox. Mr Bridgen was kicked out of the Conservative party last month after comparing Covid vaccines to the 'biggest crime against humanity since the Holocaust'. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak called his comments 'utterly unacceptable'. Announcing his decision to join Reclaim, Mr Bridgen said he had been 'a prisoner' in the Conservatives. According to its website, the Reclaim party exists to challenge 'woke orthodoxy' and promote 'freedom of speech', which it views as being 'under grave peril'. Political Reporter Tim Parker asks Andrew Bridgen whether he'd approached Reclaim or vice versa, after he was expelled from the Conservatives.
