Former Tory Candidate Suspended Over Contract Killer Claims A former Conservative election candidate, Jack Ross, has been suspended by the party after he was filmed discussing the cost of hiring contract killers. Sources close to the Tory leader have revealed that Ross worked as a social media consultant in Kemi Badenoch's office as recently as last year. The incident came to light after an undercover report was published, in which Ross was filmed asking an undercover reporter: "What do you want done?" and offering to "broker" the services of an alleged far-right paramilitary group. The party has launched an investigation into the matter. The revelation has sparked concerns about the company that Ross kept while working in a senior role within the Conservative party. The incident has also raised questions about the vetting process for individuals working in senior positions within the party.
