Reform UK Candidate in Kemi Badenoch's Constituency Resigns Over Historic Pro-BNP Comments
Jun 16, 2024, 10:23 PM
Grant StClair-Armstrong, the Reform UK candidate standing in Kemi Badenoch's constituency of North West Essex, has resigned following the emergence of historic comments in which he urged people to vote for the British National Party (BNP). The comments, which have been deemed 'unacceptable', included racist blog posts. This led to StClair-Armstrong's decision to step down rather than the party's directive. The Reform Party, which has seen a shift in its stance on extreme candidates since Nigel Farage replaced Richard Tice, accepted his resignation. StClair-Armstrong has stated that he never supported the BNP, despite the comments.
