ANTI-FASCISTS have mobilised in London tonight after a disgraced former Tory MP hosted a visit to Parliament by the far-right German party Alternative fur Deutschland (AfD).

The invitation by North West Leicestershire MP Andrew Bridgen follows more than a month of protests in Germany, which saw hundreds of thousands mobilise when AfD was revealed to have held secret meetings with openly fascist and neonazi organisations to discuss mass deportations of immigrants from Germany.

Mr Bridgen sits as an independent MP after being expelled from the Conservatives over comments made about Covid and the Holocaust.
