ER Editor: A 2.0 warning for Matt Hancock. Covid criminals, especially those working for governments, have long been picked up. EO 13818 anticipated Covid crimes. Andrew Bridgen is one of today’s heroes, however, fighting his own parliamentary colleagues to get Covid injection crimes exposed. See our coverage of him here.
Hancock 2020 (L), and today in the Telegraph —
A reminder that Bridgen is bringing the libel case against Hancock for wheeling out an ‘antisemitism’ slur against him in Parliament. Hancock has now failed twice to stop the case —

It’s interesting, I put out a press release immediately the judgement was handed down to all the media – the story appeared in minutes on the MSM with none of my quotes used. Also @Telegraph had been interested in an interview with me before the result was known, but strangely…

Andrew Bridgen @ABridgen has suffered more than many to bring the British people the truth about vaccines and other gross injustices.
In a sane world he would have been rewarded not pilloried by his own party and darker forces.
But we don’t live in a sane world.
Yet!…

Andrew Bridgen’s libel claim against Matt Hancock to go to trial
********
Matt Hancock has lost a High Court attempt to end a libel claim by former MP Andrew Bridgen against him over a tweet about the Covid vaccine. The Telegraph has more.
Mr Hancock, a former health secretary, is being sued by Andrew Bridgen over a post on X in January 2023.
Mr Bridgen, the former North West Leicestershire MP, shared a link to an article concerning data about deaths and other adverse reactions linked to Covid vaccines, stating: “As one consultant cardiologist said to me, this is the biggest crime against humanity since the Holocaust.”
Hours later, Mr Hancock shared a video of him asking a question in the Commons, captioned: “The disgusting and dangerous antisemitic, anti-vax, anti-scientific conspiracy theories spouted by a sitting MP this morning are unacceptable and have absolutely no place in our society.”
He unsuccessfully asked a judge to throw out the case last year, and at a hearing in March asked the court in London to rule in his favour before a trial.
Mr Bridgen opposed the application, with his barristers calling it a “desperate last throw of the dice”.
In a judgment on Monday, Mrs Justice Collins Rice dismissed Mr Hancock’s bid, adding that whether Mr Bridgen succeeded in his case was “likely to depend on a full examination of the evidence both ways” and that there should not be a “mini-trial in advance of the evidential situation even being known”.
She continued: “My task on this application is not to consider who has the better case at this stage, much less who is more likely to win. My task is to consider whether Mr Bridgen’s case is unreal. Mr Bridgen’s case as pleaded and evidenced so far does not have an obvious quality of unreality.
“I am not in a position to conclude at this stage that Mr Bridgen’s prospects of success on either matter are such as to be determinable now to be unreal, and in any event there are, in my view, compelling reasons for further investigation at trial and a fully considered judgment thereafter.”
Mrs Justice Collins Rice said the case was “therefore set to proceed to the full evidential stages and on to trial”.
The judge also said Mr Bridgen’s “pleading of the counter-defence is, however, defective”, adding that he had a “limited opportunity” to amend it.
Mr Bridgen was suspended by the Conservatives after his post and expelled from the party in April 2023. He then sat as a Reclaim Party MP and then became an independent until he was defeated at last year’s General Election.
He previously said he wished to “clear his name” through the libel action over Mr Hancock’s “malicious” post.
