Former Conservative MP Andrew Bridgen held a solo protest in London on Saturday, standing outside the Houses of Parliament with a placard. The demonstration comes amid ongoing controversy surrounding his conduct and his previous naming of fellow MPs in sexual misconduct allegations.
Bridgen, who served as MP for North West Leicestershire until 2024, was seen holding a sign that read 'Justice for the Wronged' as he stood alone near the Palace of Westminster. Passers-by appeared to largely ignore the protest, with only a few stopping to take photographs.
The protest follows Bridgen's suspension from the Conservative Party in 2023 after he compared COVID-19 vaccines to the Holocaust. He later sat as an independent MP before losing his seat in the 2024 general election.
Bridgen's actions have drawn mixed reactions from political figures, with some criticising his methods while others defend his right to protest. The former MP has not commented on the duration of his demonstration or any future plans.
