Andrew Bridgen, who was kicked out of the Tories after promoting conspiracy theories, claimed he was attacked by Crispin Blunt one day after branding him an ‘unashamed apologist for Hamas’has reported another MP to parliamentary authorities for allegedly slapping him on the back of the head and calling him a “bastard” – a day after he branded him an “unashamed apologist for Hamas”.
Mr Blunt, a former minister who represents Reigate and is standing down at the next electoin, has not responded to requests for comment. “I was sitting at one of the round tables in Portcullis House and he went by the back of me and hit me on the back of the head with his hand and said, ‘You’re a bastard’ and then legged it off,” he said.
Mr Bridgen had told the newspaper: “A party that expels me on false allegations of antisemitism is happy to keep an MP who opposed Hamas being designated a terror organisation and even claimed it had legitimate targets in Israel.
