The Reform candidate standing in Kemi Badenoch’s constituency has said he will resign after comments emerged in which he called on people to vote for the BNP.
Grant StClair-Armstrong is standing for Reform in North West Essex, where the business secretary is the Conservative candidate.
StClair-Armstrong has run a network of websites over the past 20 years, including a blog he called the “Joli Triste”.

When approached by The Times about the comments, StClair-Armstrong said: “I’ve got no excuses for that.
