In a surprising turn of events, former Reform UK candidate Grant StClair-Armstrong has resigned over historic blog posts advocating for the British National Party (BNP), which he described as “daft and inappropriate”. The resignation comes after The Times unearthed comments from his 2010 blog, Joli Triste, where he expressed disillusionment with the state of the UK and suggested voting for the BNP.
StClair-Armstrong, now running as an independent in North West Essex, had initially posted: “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!”
