Andrew Bridgen

Abstract is: Andrew James Bridgen (born 28 October 1964) is a British politician and businessman who has served as the Member of Parliament (MP) for North West Leicestershire since 2010. A member of the Conservative Party and prominent figure on its right wing, he is a long-term critic of the European Union (EU) and supported Brexit in the 2016 membership referendum. Bridgen was a vocal supporter of the Eurosceptic pressure group Leave Means Leave, as well as a prominent critic of Theresa May during her time as Leader of the Conservative Party and Prime Minister. Bridgen supported efforts to remove Conservative Prime Ministers David Cameron, Theresa May, Boris Johnson and Liz Truss from office. Bridgen faces a vote to suspend him from the House of Commons due to the Commons Select Committee on Standards finding he repeatedly breached rules over paid lobbying and declaring interests and that he also attempted to put pressure on the commissioner investigating his lobbying breaches.
