String of controversies

Emma Dent Coad called black Tory candidate Shaun Bailey ‘a token ghetto boy’ and referred to him as a ‘freeloading scumbag’ on her blog in 2010.

She also drew a stick man being hanged from the Tory Party tree logo, which Tory MP Kemi Badenoch said looked like a black person.

She is an anti-monarchist and has compared the Royal family to the Kardashians.

At the Labour conference she incorrectly said Prince Harry cannot fly helicopters and ‘just sits there going “vroom vroom”.’

She also said Prince Philip had been ‘mucking about for years, he’s not been a faithful husband’ and it was ‘disgusting’ the Duchess of Cambridge had bought sweaters costing £150, adding: ‘That’s a food bill for a family of four.’
