Wakefield’s notorious Tory candidate Alex Story has made the headlines twice this morning for two stories that further justify his record as one of RateMyTory’s worst scoring PPCs.
A nanny has claimed that Alex Story broke the law on minimum wage by paying just £2.50 an hour for her services. 27-year-old student, Maham Hashmi, said: “I felt like a slave, what they were paying was outrageous.”
When confronted over the claim Story furiously responded: “Have you tried to hire a nanny in London, do you have children, do you?”
The news comes a day after the Tory candidate sparked controversy at a hustings event in Wakefield by suggesting the BNP were an offshoot of the Labour party, who apparently has encouraged voters to flock to the extremist right due to failings on immigration.
He argued that Ukip’s relationship with the Conservatives was comparable to the BNP’s relationship with Labour adding: “The BNP vote is in fact an ex-Labour vote that is disenfranchised from the Labour party and is in disagreement with the Labour party on the immigration issue.”
Neither story should come as a surprise to RateMyTory readers who saw Alex Story (ProgRat: 3%) feature for his belief that the welfare state was to blame for the kidnap of Shannon Matthews.
The revelations also come in the same week that RateMyTory’s previously lowest scoring PPC, Philip Lardner, was suspended for homophobic remarks.
As our lowest scoring Conservative candidates continue to reveal their true beliefs, we begin to wonder which Tory will burst the bubble of progressive Conservatism and justify their dismal progressive rating next.
