Matt Hancock condemns Andrew Bridgen anti-vax comments

Former health secretary Matt Hancock has spoken of the “deeply offensive” and anti-scientific comments from a now-suspended Tory MP.

He raised the tweet from Andrew Bridgen, who has lost the Tory whip on Wednesday for his comments which raised comparisons to the Holocaust.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak condemned the “utterly unacceptable” comments, and said anti-Semitism had no place in society.
