"Chris Kennedy was announced as the party's representative after 8am on Thursday morning but by 4:45pm it was confirmed he had pulled put for "personal and family reasons"."
"The Green Party said its former candidate in the Makerfield by-election had apologised after a report that he had shared a post calling an attack on Jewish ambulances in north London a “false flag”."
So not "personal and family reasons" then?
"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.”
There we are, he's apologised, nothing to see here, move along.
The Greens remind me very much of another party which has an issue with racist candidates.
