A man who has been linked to a Nottinghamshire MP has spoken out after reports of being a white-supremacist and far-right racist. Martin Dudley, also known as Martin Fluke, has addressed the allegations for the first time after a photo of him and Ashfield MP Lee Anderson has been published online.
Lee Anderson, who was promoted to the Deputy Chairman role of the Conservative Party earlier this month, was pictured with Mr Dudley giving out trophies at the ‘Skegby Scooter Club’ annual awards. Mr Dudley was wearing a yellow and black Fred Perry polo shirt - discontinued by the brand after it became associated with the far-right group the Proud Boys in America.
Mr Dudley's name and details also feature on the British National Party (BNP) membership list on the Wikileaks website. He confirmed to Nottinghamshire Live that he was a member for one year, "about 25 years ago".
