A candidate who dropped out of the Makerfield by-election has apologised after reportedly sharing a claim that an attack on Jewish ambulances in north London were a “false flag”.
The Green Party’s Chris Kennedy was announced to be running in the seat on Thursday morning – but nine hours later the party confirmed he had dropped out, citing “personal and family reasons”.
According to The Times, an Instagram video shared by Mr Kennedy described the arrests of two men over the incident in March as “total bulls*** to keep the false flag flying”.
A Green Party spokesperson said: “These posts don’t reflect the views of The Green Party. We have spoken to Chris about these posts, and he has now deleted them. He apologises for the offence caused.”
