A Conservative election candidate has apologised for retweeting posts from former English Defence League leader Tommy Robinson.

Campaign group Hope Not Hate said Karl McCartney shared several posts from Mr Robinson and far-right commentator Katie Hopkins.

The posts, it said, contained "anti-Muslim and anti-Semitic material".

Hope Not Hate has called for Mr McCartney to be suspended as the candidate for Lincoln.

In a statement, Mr McCartney said: "I apologise unreservedly. In no way do I endorse the tweets or the accounts behind them. I accept retweeting them was ill judged and could cause offence.

"This divisive figure [Mr Robinson] has no place in our politics or public life."
 
Are these assorted loons and ne’er-do-wells standing in seats where they have a hope? Could be a good distraction technique putting oddballs in unwinnable seats to draw fire from places where they have a chance. Or am I crediting them with too much strategic nous?

The Ashfield guy is in a Lab/Tory marginal seat. I don't think this is strategic stupidity, I think this is just what they're like.
 
They've managed to keep Ree-Smug in a cupboard - you'd think they could manage to do the same with Gove.

E2A Probably aint no cupboard big enough to contain all their horrors.
