Brexit Party candidate criticised for past IRA defence

The father of a murdered schoolboy has criticised a top Brexit Party candidate over 'absolutely disgraceful' comments about the Warrington IRA bombing. European elections candidate Claire Fox was a leading member of the far-left Revolutionary Communist Party (RCP) which defended the fatal attack. Colin Parry, whose son Tim died in the 1993 bombing, said she 'should disavow these comments if that's her position'. A Brexit Party spokesman said Ms Fox 'does not hold those views now'. Tim Parry, 12, and Johnathan Ball, three, were killed in the IRA bombing on March 20, 1993, which left 56 others injured.
