Tory candidate accused of EDL plot urged to 'fess up' and 'go now'

A Conservative parliamentary candidate who was recorded plotting with the English Defence League to increase his vote by stirring up a row over a new mosque is expected to be expelled from the party within days.

The defence minister, Anna Soubry, urged Afzal Amin, the Tory candidate in Dudley North, to “fess up” and “go now” if the allegations were true. According to the Mail on Sunday, Amin floated a plan for the EDL to a march against a mosque in the constituency that would then be called off.

Amin has been suspended pending a formal investigation, but Tory sources indicated that Amin’s position was unsustainable.

Soubry, a defence minister, said: “He is at the moment denying this. He has been suspended. What I would say is I would appeal if there is any truth in this – to him – then go now, hold your head up. Obviously if this is right this is dreadful. The EDL is the most appalling organisation. It doesn’t matter which party you are. Anybody who engages in that sort of shenanigans doesn’t do anybody any credit.
