In today’s episode of The Daily T, Camilla Tominey and Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg speak to Joshua Bonehill-Paine, the convicted anti-Semite and former far-Right activist, in his first interview since withdrawing his Tory council candidacy following a backlash over his selection. Camilla challenges Bonehill-Paine on his rehabilitation and subsequent work in counter-extremism after being convicted in 2016 of the racially-aggravated harassment of Luciana Berger, the Labour peer. Sir Jacob offers him a direct opportunity to apologise to Baroness Berger, which he accepts, acknowledging that his past behaviour was “disgusting” and “truly awful”. He also defends his role advising the Conservatives on tackling anti-Semitism. Camilla and Sir Jacob also discuss Reform UK’s pledge to deport all foreign nationals from British prisons to countries such as El Salvador to free up space.
