Ex-antisemite Tory adviser not Government-certified for anti-extremism training

Joshua Bonehill-Paine, a former neo-Nazi and antisemite, has withdrawn as a Conservative local election candidate to become a cultural adviser to Kemi Badenoch. He is tasked with working with the Conservatives to tackle radicalisation. While Bonehill-Paine claims to possess government certification for counter-extremism work, the Home Office has explicitly stated that he is not Government-certified for this specific anti-extremism training, contradicting the claims made by the adviser regarding his official credentials.
