Labour peer urges Badenoch to reverse decision on ex-neo-Nazi’s advisory role

Luciana Berger, who was subject to abuse from Joshua Bonehill-Paine, said Tory leader should ‘listen to victims’

The Labour peer Luciana Berger has urged Kemi Badenoch to “listen to victims” and reverse her decision to give a national advisory role to a former neo-Nazi.

Joshua Bonehill-Paine was jailed in 2015 for more than three years after posting antisemitic material online before a planned neo-Nazi rally. In 2016, he was found guilty of racially aggravated harassment for abuse directed at Berger, an MP at the time. He was also the founder and leader of the National British Resistance, a far-right group.
