"Corey Edwards has informed us that he is stepping down as a candidate for the Senedd election this May, citing issues with his mental health. We wish him well for the future and hope his privacy can be respected at this difficult time."
"In one episode of Fawlty Towers, the eponymous hotelier played by Cleese goose-steps in front of some German visitors with a finger under his nose."
"Edwards said in an initial statement on Thursday that while he recognised he had made a mistake, he had been imitating the Welsh goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey, who was pictured making a similar gesture in 2019."
Corey Edwards, a Reform UK candidate for the Welsh Senedd elections, has withdrawn from the race citing mental health concerns after a photo emerged showing him making a Nazi salute. Nigel Farage defended Edwards, suggesting he was imitating a character from Fawlty Towers. Edwards initially claimed he was mimicking Welsh goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey. Reform UK has faced candidate selection issues in Scotland, with multiple candidates stepping down or being suspended shortly after their announcement.
