A tubby Tory councillor named Matthew Palmer is best known for having mouthed: “Do not let them in” on camera when Grenfell Tower protestors tried to enter Kensington Town Hall in July 2017.
This insensitive berk and failed candidate on the BBC’s The Apprentice – described as “obnoxious and highly disrespectful” by a Grenfell Tower survivor named Edward Daffarn and eventually forced to make an “unequivocal apology” by the council’s audit and transparency committee – has now been exposed for having also campaigned for the Brexit Party in the East Midlands in the recent European elections.
Described by one resident of the Queen’s Gate Ward he represents as an “embarrassment of epic proportions,” this prat of a man bizarrely was also on the selection committee that selected Kensington’s new Conservative candidate for the next election, Felicity Buchan.

Conservative councillor Karen Rampton is a bigot who picks on homeless people and she is someone whom should be named and shamed.

Speaking off the record exclusively to The Steeple Times, a Kensington Conservative Party member commented: “In fury, the matter has been raised with the Conservative Party chairman and the chairman of the Kensington, Chelsea and Fulham Conservative Association; canvassing for another political party has to definitely be grounds for Matthew Palmer to be expelled.”

Incredible! A senior Conservative councillor who sat on the selection committee to nominate a candidate to oppose the Brexit Party then goes off to canvass for the BP.
Is the man stupid or not right in the head?
My understanding is that a letter of complaint has been sent to the Chairman of the Conservative Party.
Cllr Palmer is certainly ‘one of a kind’!
He should resign. Shame on the rat.
This is treachery at a difficult time for the Conservative Party. What is his Association Chairman doing? Expel both of them
Fired from The Apprentice for poor contributions, false accusations against the other team and for his confrontational personality with other candidates. Lovely guy.
He resembles a polished turd and he has the brain of a flea. Well suited to be a Tory councillor therefore.
He’d never get a bird looking like that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No wonder he’s a political nut instead!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a strange man
Anything to do with Brexit and Tories seems to crumble brain cells. Unless of course they had any to begin with.
Another tubby good for nothing public servant with his snout in the trough.
What a ghastly looking creature. He also sounds brain dead.
Self-serving prick
