UK Conservative Party
The "invisible" prime minister is struggling to turn around the Tories' faltering fortunes as he emerges from his bunker.
The Conservative MP posted about a staff member's financial situation.
It's another sign that the Conservatives are bracing themselves for defeat at the next election.
A group of moderate Conservatives say it is a "deeply concerning development".
"For Andrew Bridgen to lose the whip is another example of the Tory Party going down this, to me, frighteningly totalitarian, woke way of looking at the world."
Will the prime minister be forced into yet another U-turn by his angry backbenchers?
"The comparison is grossly offensive and inaccurate, and it is also stupid," the chief executive of the Antisemitism Policy Trust said.
Andrew Bridgen has become the latest to have the Conservative whip removed.
The prime minister twice pledged to “stop the boats” in his first big speech of 2023.
The Labour leader even stole the Brexiteers' favourite slogan in his quest for power.
