Tories urged to investigate Warrington branch over antisemitic tweet
The Conservative party is under pressure to investigate a string of remarks about a Jewish MP by its members, including a prospective councillor who tweeted: “Keep the Aryan race going.”
Sharon Thomason, who was selected last week as a Tory candidate for Warrington borough council, made the “repugnant” comment to the Labour MP Charlotte Nichols in February last year.
The Conservative party said on Monday that Thomason would no longer be standing for election and that it took action “swiftly and immediately” after being made aware of her comments.
