Ex-neo-Nazi withdraws from Tory race
A former neo-Nazi activist convicted of harassment and antisemitic offenses has withdrawn from standing as a Conservative candidate after Kemi Badenoch offered him a role advising the party’s culture and integration commission on youth radicalization. Badenoch stated she was “sad” that he felt unable to explain his position and represent his community, emphasizing the importance of involving individuals who have changed to help combat extremism and antisemitism. The individual, who had previously supported white rights and created a satirical online account, was jailed in 2015 and had previously targeted a Jewish MP with racially abusive messages.
