Nigel Farage blames admin error for candidates praising Hitler – POLITICO

And another reform candidate has left the race in recent days after it was reported that he had previously encouraged people to vote for the far-right British National Party.

He raised questions about the vetting process for reform candidates. The challenger party, which is hoping to take on the Tories and is going to the polls ahead of a snap general election on July 4, is fielding candidates in almost every seat this time around, posing a major challenge to party bosses hoping to ensure they come out on top. board.

Speaking to Good Morning Britain on Tuesday, Farage admitted the error and pointed the finger at an outsourcing deal gone wrong.

“We paid a very large amount of money to a reputable verification company who didn’t do the job,” he told ITV’s Good Morning Britain. “We were politically decorated and that created problems for us.”

He added: “I accept that and I’m sorry for that.”
