The Conservative party has been accused of becoming a home for cranks after some of its candidates at the general election were revealed to have shared conspiracy theories on social media.
Labour said some of the postings shared by Tory candidates suggested serious concerns about the calibre of the party's would-be MPs.
Jenny Johnson, a Tory candidate for Wirral West, shared pandemic conspiracy theories, suggesting doubts about the testing regime for Covid-19.
Johnson defended her actions stating her academic background made her critically analyze narratives, and clarified that sharing posts did not imply endorsement.
