Nathaniel Menday was suspended from the Reform UK party yesterday afternoon, after reports found he had posted antisemitic and far-right iconography on X, leading Sheffield councillors to urge him to resign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The newly-elected Woodhouse ward councillor was found to have posted images of a Nazi flag with a swastika, an image of Hitler\u2019s Mein Kampf, and statements saying the UK has \u201ca disgusting, almost subhuman underclass\u201d, all of which are now deleted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the run up to the local election, Menday told The Times: “I have flirted with what could reasonably be referred to as ‘far-right ideology’ but ultimately I have come to reject its core tenets.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Several Sheffield councillors spoke out against him in statements issued to the Council and via social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Crookes & Crosspool\u2019s Labour and Co-operative councillor, Minesh Parekh, issued a statement to the Audit and Standards Committee, lead by Councillor Tim Huggan and Councillor Maroof Raouf, urging them to investigate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Parekh said: \u201cCouncillor Menday\u2019s use of white supremacist symbols and attacks on Jewish people fall short of the standards expected.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
