A Conservative councillor who was photographed wearing a blackshirt and surrounded by fascist imagery at far-right events is under investigation by the party chair, Nadhim Zahawi.
Andy Weatherhead, who represents Hythe West on Kent county council, attended rallies organised by the openly fascist New British Union (NBU), prior to joining the Conservative party, where he wore a blackshirt and was surrounded by symbols associated with Oswald Mosley’s British Union of Fascists.
