Is this man still a BNP member? If so it will be interesting to see whether they kick him out. Their track record in the field is not that good for a party of law and order.

Amazing how they managed to miss that this guy was in the BNP. No doubt we'll hear that he hasn't been a member for the past six months (ha ha) but is the Express sympathetic to the fash?

Cyclops will keep Aveyard in the party, as partner beating is par for the course, as with the Burnley wife-beating scumbag.

Mr Kemp also beat his wife and his children, so maybe it is a pre - requisite for membership!
