[Reform UK candidate resigns over 'unacceptable' blog posts]
[Reform UK’s parliamentary candidate
in Kemi Badenoch’s constituency
has resigned after it emerged he
previously urged people to vote for the BNP.
Grant StClair-Armstrong, the party’s candidate
in North West Essex, told BBC News
he had “never supported the BNP” and had
been forced to stand down by the party.
“I would have let the people decide,” he said.
But a
spokesman for Reform UK said
“Mr StClair-Armstrong has tendered his
resignation” after “the revelation of unacceptable
historic social media comments”.
In remarks first reported by the Times, external,
Mr StClair-Armstrong wrote on a website:
“I could weep now, every time I pick up
a British newspaper and read the latest about
the state of the UK.
No doubt, Enoch Powell would be doing
the same if he was alive.
My solution … vote BNP!”]
