Members of the far-right party were recently caught meeting neo-Nazis to discuss mass deportations
MPs have condemned plans by the former Tory backbencher Andrew Bridgen to host an MEP from Germany’s Alternative für Deutschland in parliament, weeks after members of the far-right party were caught in discussion with neo-Nazis about carrying out mass deportations.
There was also concern that parliament could be used as a platform for the dissemination of conspiracy theories after Bridgen said the event, billed as a meeting of the Save Our Sovereignty campaign group, would discuss issues including “vaccine harms”, 15-minute cities and a “power grab” by the World Health Organization.
