An MP who was removed from the UK Conservative Party for questioning COVID-19 vaccines on social media said he was “saddened” but not “downhearted” about the decision and has announced plans to take legal action against individuals who have accused him of racism.

Andrew Bridgen MP made the announcement in a video statement on Thursday, in which he referred to a now-deleted post on Twitter made by a consultant cardiologist, who reportedly told him that the situation with the COVID-19 vaccines is “the biggest crime against humanity since the Holocaust.”
